Anybody know of a shop near Cleveland, Ohio that will install my V&H power duals quickly and at a reasonable price? I've called a few, but they will only install parts they sell.
I'm sure I could do it, but it would take me at least a few days.

 

I'm one to take my time so it took me about 4 hrs total to remove stock and put on my duels. Mind you that was taking my time. The last thing you need to do is rush installing head pipes. you could get pinched gaskets or worse off, snap a flange bolt. Brackets are crucial and that they are positioned right for everything to fit up nice.
If you do decide to do it, use new Torca clamps for your slipons, new Flange exhaust bolt nuts and even the spring clip retainers for the flanges. it's a small investment to get it right. also, use the flat HD exhaust gaskets not the tapered ones.
Snug the bracket that mounts to the transmission bolts and fit everything up. Then tap the bracket with a small hammer to where the bolt lines up with the pipe and take the pipes off and final torque the tranny bolts to hold it in place (you can't tighten them with the pipes bolted to it). That's the best way to do it so then when you get the pipes into place the bracket lines right up perfectly. Follow the manual for torquing the flange nuts too.
I had to use a combination of extensions that wiggled to get the socket into place through my lower vents to tighten them (FLHTK radiators are a bitch to remove)
Again I was meticulous so it took me that long.
