Heated Grips Installation
Looking at adding heated grips to my 2019 Street Glide Special. Dealer is quoting me 4 hours of labour which is about $440. I've watched some installs on YouTube, but it's not something I'd feel comfortable doing. My question for those that have maybe done the install themselves or had a dealer do it, does 4 hours of labour sound right? Seems high to me, but honestly have no frame of reference, so thought I'd get some opinions. Hoping the dealer is just quoting high to cover their butts???
Thx.
Ryan.

Watch this video and judge for yourself if you think it takes 4 hours.

2hrs tops, could probably do it in an hour if we skipped the beers. Bike is already pre-wired for them. Easy Peasy.

My dealer quoted me two hours for my 2020 Road Glide Special.

i don't know about street glides, but i did mine and my wife's road glides in less than an hour each.
i might consider paying an hour's labor for it, but no way would i pay 4. that's just robbery, imo.

I may consider a hour labor but with a little research you can do it yourself.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I knew 4 hours was ridiculous, just needed reassurance I guess.
I'll have to go have a talk with the dealer I guess....
