Default Reasonable labour for Inner Fairing change?

I know a guy that was originally quoted 4 hours for the dealer to change his inner fairing on his 08' SG by the parts guy.
In my opinion that is excessive, since I did mine in about two hours and it was my first attempt.
Now the part is in and the $ervice guy says 6 to 8 hours.
I'm thinking they are right off their rockers for even suggesting it would take that long.
Anyone have experience with this.

I was quoted $180 by my service manager.

Since bike sales are down the Service guys are really trying to make $$$$ and take advantage of us.

6-8 hours is CRAZY!!!

How about doing it for your friend, rather than letting him get ripped off by the dealer...

I didn't say he was a friend.
