I did it myself, by the time I was done (original 13" ape purchase was 85$ for the bars) it cost me about 1500$. New cables (braided, but I have ABS so they are more $$) new wires, new brake levers (changed to black), had my inner fairing painted, but I also had my gauges worked on (laser etched and the chrome rings replaced for black) and that was half the cost.
The hardest part is removing/installing the keylock, but if your careful it goes back in easily.

I was in the local Harley-Davidson establishment and asked the gentlemen at the counter how much to install some new and taller bars.
He came back with a paper that had $1900 worth of stuff and labor.
I left.
So, here in the real world, what did this sort of project cost you?
And at what height do I need to get new clutch cables, brake lines, wires, etc...
I have a 2012 FLHX and I'm looking at 10" or 12" bars.

I do not have a complete list of pieces parts, but the Magnum cables were another 300 or so. I do not think I was much over 500 - if at all.
How many hours were quoted? Most dealers that I know of quote less than 8 hrs labor for a batwing bar swap.
Even at 8 hours, that quote should not have been over 1200.
