Default IDS how long to install?

I am having IDS installed on my '07 Ultra on Saturday (12/1) How long should it take the dealership to install it? I just checked the weather and it is going to be about 34 degrees when I leave for the dealership (brrrrrr). Thanks for all replies. I am getting the $100 elbow grease promo also.

My dealer billed an hour and a half. Of course, with the Elbow Grease discount, my net cost for labor was about $40.

Did mine myself in about an hour and a half, including a coffee break.

The dealer install took 45 minutes and the elbow grease rebate took care of it

I did my own, but even cleaning under the fender well and thoroughly cleaning the wheel the install took about an hour and 1/2, That should be the max for a dealer charge, even taking a break a competent tech should finish in an hour.

shouldn't there be a time already established by the moco to do this install? you know, the old flat rate thing? i thought everything had a set time already established so it surprises me that some dealers are charging for an hour, some 1-1/2 hrs, and even others 2....
