Finally got started on my handlebar swap this evening. Not sure why I waited this long. Had the old bars off in less than an hour.

 

It only looks intimidating. Once you jump in it don't take long. Did my SG in a few hours. Now the RG. Haha. That's an easy Bar swap.

What bars did you go with?

 

Right, when I switch out my stock bars on my '08 RKC to Wild One 10'' mini apes I was surprise on how flimsy the OEM bars were and how stable to new bars feel. Congrats..

 

Unless you are doing internal wiring and, especially, extending the wires, the handlebar swap shouldn't take very long.
