Estimated time for floorboard/highway peg install?
Specifically Rivco, but I'll take a rough estimate for ANY board/peg install.
FYI, I feel awful-- my man card should be taken away-- but I recently tried to install this stuff on my own, and even with a jack and jackstands I just couldn't get enough comfortable clearance to work underneath my Spyder in my driveway (God, how I want a garage and a bike lift one day...).
Since time is money (and frustration... and bruised fingers...), it's worth it for me to have a dealer install this stuff, but I'd like to have an idea of about how long this should take since I'm going to have it done "while I wait" and labor in these parts approaches $100 an hour.
So, any estimates?
(Oh, in addition to the boards & pegs, I'm getting two Powerlets installed in the dash... I'll be ready for winter before summer's even over ).

If every thing goes well, The Rivco boards should only take 1 to 1.5 hours to install.

Original Seal Floorboards took 30 minutes and I had no need for jacks, etc. No need for highway pegs. Didn't even bruise or skin a finger. I highly recommend them!

Hard for me to say for sure how long it took to install my ISCI brackets and boards because I was also doing a lot of other stuff at the same time.
I would estimate that if that was the only project that I was doing and worked specifically on that 1-1.5 hours is about right.

Thanks all, makes me feel better!
RE: Seal floorboards, I already bought the Rivco boards and pegs, I've had them sitting on my dining room floor for a month now (much to my GF's happiness ).

I installed the ESI pegs in about 1 1/2 hours. I took my time and they came out great. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow.
