Default Fatboy Chrome Front End Kit Install

I plan to have the dealer install a Chrome Front End Kit on my Fatboy. How many hours of labor did the dealer charge you for a Chrome Front End Kit install?

its pretty simple to do, grab a freind and some beers and make it an afternoon. Even if it takes you all day. it will be worth it in the end and you will understand the process better .

Or you can take the front end apart by yourself even and take the fork legs in to your dealer or mech and have them swap the lowers out... then put the rest of the chrome front end together yourself. That will save some cash also.

Grab a manual and do the swap yourself, at least you will know it was done right, and save you some beans in the process.
