I just did my wife's Forty Eight last night, added Hollywood bars. I didn't change a thing, cable wise. But, I did run her wires internally... That was one of the easy parts. Her bike is a '14 and the connectors are tiny. Slid right through (no tight angles, no corners either!).

When I popped 'em on at first, i thought the clutch and throttle cables would be too short to run between the headlight and triple trees, like they are stock. But, I was wrong... I had to feed them BACK through. That turned my hour and a half of leisurely paced work into three hours with her giving me the stink eye about ten minutes from being done.

Had I left well enough alone with the damn cables, I probably could have been done in under an hour. But, I didn't do any new cables or wires, extensions, etc. And she already has a tank lift. It was cake.

 

i ordered a set of bars today, they said 1 hour labor charge for install.
will not need any new cables.

 

That sounds like no internal wiring, no cable replacement, etc. Just unbolt the controls, and clamp, and swap the bars. I could see that all being two hours charge.

But def more than two hours if going taller and internal, longer cables, etc.
