My dealer wants $2k to swap handlebars from short stock to KST Customs “Reduced Reach” bars.
How could it possibly take 8 hours to do this job?
 
There are quite a few connectors that have to be chased down in the batwing. Fishing the wires out the old and in the new bars takes some time. If a wire from the throttle or any control gets pinched or frayed, Forget about it. Care must be taken. Im not sure if your new bars require extentions or not but that is a bitch all on its own.
Labor costs cover things like tools needed, know-how and WARRANTY crap. I agree, costs seem excessive. Seems like par for the course with the brand.
