It is not difficult per se, it is only time consuming.

The wiring is the big time pain in the ***. HD will get 9 hours of service if you have them do it for you.

I did mine myself... Took all day. You will need to remove the gas tank. It was an experience for me and I would do it all over again. Dealer wanted $600 to install set of bars that cost $160.

Like said above....It's not hard..just take your time. I just changed my bars out for the 2nd time on my Lo. Easier the 2nd time. Buy a service manual it'll help.
