Ok, not to brag, but I did mine in 4 hours, internally wired and I'm a fuking idiot, 10 hrs is way to long for an expert.

ok so 10hrs is too long and theyre stating 10hrs to make more off of me, probably b/c they're offering buy 1 hour of labor get 1 hour. I will check around and or see if I can get them down. Or any one in the St Louis area want some extra money ??

Just installed my own bars in less then half that time. They were already internally wired prior so I had to disassemble the molex connectors and pull the wires out then pull them back through the new bars and reconnect each pin to the molex connectors. Wasn't that hard just take your time and be patient. I made a hand drawn diagram of each connector and each pin/color of wire that really helped.

Burly 14s are easy to wire. 10 hours is about 7 hours to many on a road king.

I did mine in around 4 hrs. I didn't internally wire them but it was my first time doing all of it. It is a simply job. Watch some videos on youtube of people doing them. You can do it your self. Oh and I did mine for $250.

Shat!!!!

I just bought me a set of bars and i got a great deal on them so i thought i was pretty much home free from this point.. after reading this i realize that the bars while i did get them for less than 50 percent of there normal cost.. i see now looks like i am still gonna spend atleast another 500 sheesh...

well i did used to work on the crotch rockets for a living for a while never on harleys though but i am about to get into those do it yourself threads and videos cause i cant see paying that much . What i am thinking is that i will get someone to run the wires internally in the bars maybe and do everything else myself.. IDK i am gonna look at some vides and see what i think ... i do know my limits so i will hopefully be able to tell what i can and cant do lol
