$800 for 6" riser install?
I want to have 6" pullback risers installed on my 2012 FatBoy, they have a 1.7" pullback which would make the bike more comfortable. I have a touring seat on the bike because I need the back support, in combo with the risers, it should be just right for a comfortable ride. The risers are $170 and The Service Manager said it would take about 4 hours labor, $300, plus all the cables would have to be replaced, another $300. So I'm looking at an $800 bill for 1.7" of pullback. Does this sound right to those of you who are familiar with the mechanics of the job? I have neither the knowledge or equipment to do the job myself. Any and all insights and advice would be most welcome!

Dude. Sounds spendy! Do the wires need to be extended? It's really not a bad job. If you pick up a manual you can learn how to pull the tank and then it's just time.
Are they running the wires through the bars?
I've done it 4 times now, if I lived close I'd do it for ya!
Have you shopped for new bars? Tons of em out there, I've always like the wild ones harley bars. 1 and 1/4...
I bet you do have the tools. easy shop tools, a few wrenches and some wiring work.

Find another dealer because that one's full of crap. I got the HD 6" pullback risers installed on my 2012 Fat Boy Lo with ABS by my local dealer. I think I paid somewhere around 250 or so for risers and install. I didn't need any new cables. The only cable that really fits tight or somewhat is the upper brake line and it's been fine for at least 10,000 miles. I would have done it myself but the dealer wasn't sure if it would need new cables or not. If I had known it didn't I would have done it myself since it's a fairly easy job. Definitely get a new dealer or buy the risers online and take the bike to an indy with a good local rep.

get an independent mechanic to do that job at least. that sounds like a dealership price.
I had my entire front end pulled, painted, and replaced, with new risers, cables, and bars, for $500.
not including parts I will add. But still $500 labor for pulling the whole front assembly off and replacing it after painting. not bad.
