Are these guys f'n nuts or what??
Stopped by a small indie shop today and thought I'd give these guys a try. Told them I had bought a set of 18" apes and thought maybe they had some cables in stock since everything they seem to have has apehangers on it. They told me no of course "BUT" they could order some for me.. (so could I) and to install them would take about ten hours and would be between 400 to 600 bucks.... Am I crazy or is that a lot of dough?? Anyways just rantin' thanks for tuning in....

Save yer' coin for something cooler than the Indy's truck payment.
I have done two bar swaps in the past two months. I aint ever done one before. I grabbed my trusty service manual then found a thread here...Looked for any potential issues I may have and went after it!!

First time with the plug ins 6 hours is about right.Less if you can get your tank back far enough to get at the plugs.Hint, run it way down on gas in case you have to take the tank off.A simple hand pump to get gas out is real handy and virtually mess free.Don't let the wiring throw you.You're only taking one side of each connection apart,no need to mark anything just pay attention and have you're favorite beverage on hand.G.
