Project complete!
Found out how to pull those pins, got them all back in the right place and everything worked fine on the first try. Love the look and the feel of the beach bars! I have to agree with the people who say that they got better control on the bike, though I do see that low speed maneuvers are different and will take some getting used to.
I now completely understand the need for 7 hours to change out bars and internalize wires. In fact, I tip my hat to anybody who can do it that fast. I certainly could do it again much faster, as I learned several new skills in the process. Thanks to all who shared their experience and gave advice. Now, on to the next project...

How long did it take you from start to finish? I have heard dealer estimates anywhere from 7-9 hours, depending on model, parts, etc.
When I did my apes myself, it was right around 12.5 hours total- that includes putting the bike on my rack, removal of all parts, lengthening the wires, installing all new parts and the old parts, bleeding brakes, clean up and then test ride.
