I may just as well take it to the dealer and have them put the friggin' bars on and be done with it!

Many have had the dealer make the changes. On the other hand, I've read may post of the owner completing the work themselves as well. I figure I can replace everything. If I need the brakes or clutch bled, I'll load in the truck and take it to them for that only.

Mike, bleeding the clutch would not be a problem but the brake thing is a whole different animal.

Mike and I did it once, we could do it again. That said, I'd seriously consider paying 4 hours labor.

The bushing thing is a big deal and get away from the stock rubber ones!
I don't remember what the good bushing are made of but when the apes were installed on the fatboy, they did everything right, took off the tank and replaced all cables blah blah blah except change the stock bushing! After two weeks if riding it I went back and paid to have the bushing changed! They told me "we run these good bushing on our apse" & I was thinking well why didn't you put them on mine!! Total bill was a grand, Was it worth it~ No Did it look good~yes Would I ever do it again~no Well, I take that back, when I buy a Sportster I will put apes on it.

I spoke with the service manager at the dealer this morning. He told me that for sure the braided clutch and brake lines would be too short, and that 4 hours would get the job done. So, I'm gonna have them get the longer lines and do the work.

I've seen many posts of dealers charging upwards of 9 hours for the install.

Had a friend that got the dealer to install his bars - he was charged 7 hours for labor.

I would check with wild one before buying any cables,they told me only clutch cable to be longer,abs lines was long enough,and have heard if its a cvo,the hydro clutch line is long enough too.

This is old, but maybe this will help. It was on my old Ultra. Will work for all without hydraulic clutch and ABS brakes.
The clutch hydraulics may need a new cable. It's easy to change and can be bled the usual way. ABS can't be done without bleeding the brakes; and most of us don't have the electronic gizmo to open all the valves in the control unit for bleeding. http://www.kenandjudy.us/Motorcycles...new_page_1.htm |

I did my bars on my ABS FLXH without any issues and didn't use the machine. Done carefully, you won't introduce any air into the system.
Once I hooked the line up to the brake master cylinder, I ran it as it was supposed to run back to the ABS module. I then placed the end not connected (near the ABS module) in a plastic bottle, filled the master cylinder with fluid and worked the lever until fluid was coming of out of the line without any air in it. Placed it on the open port on the ABS module and tightened the banjo bolt to where it wasn't quite tight on the module, squeezed the lever a bit to where the fluid seeped out around the fitting, then tightened the banjo bolt before letting go of the lever. Wiped down the area with some brake clean and all was goot.

you can't if it's regular clutch and non abs,but on 12 and up ultra's with abs the brake line is supposed to be enough slack in the fairing to be long enough,and if its a cvo there should be enough slack in the fairing for the clutch line to,I have not look in the fairing on a cvo to be sure for the hydraulic clutch,don't know for sure but was told I only had to replace clutch cable the abs hose was long enough.Mine is a limited not a cvo
