Takes about 2 f'n hours to put new bars on a RK.

I've swapped bars out on several bikes, and if I was doing complete clutch cable and brake lines switch out, threading wires thru the bars, etc, I've never pulled it off in 2 hrs.

I'm Slow I guess.

On a King you have to remove the headlight assembly to get to 2 screws inside the nacelle and get the lock plate off as well.

I reckon we'll see...
