The closest info that I have is labor code 4366. Replace main drive gear and/or bearing 3.4 hours.

To change the main drive bearing of course the cassette comes out. And most transmission swaps would include the main drive gear and a new bearing. If not, probably knock about 1.0 or 0.7 hours off.

  I have a warranted claim from a dealer for changing one and the charges out were 16 hours. That was on a Street Glide.

That's crazy!

The shop I used to work for followed then current ESP guidelines- if the bike was still under factory warranty (0-2 years old), use the flat rate manual; if out of factory warranty (2-5 years old), but still covered by ESP, flat rate X 1.25. If greater than 5 years old, flat rate X 1.5. This helps account for rusted/frozen hardware, + the older a bike is, the more likely it's been hacked up at some point. 
The closest job I would believe applies is 4321, Replace side door gasket, 2.8 hours, x 1.5 ESP multiplier, for a total of 4.2 hours.
16 is just criminal...

 I agree, but apparently Harley doesn't think so that is what the Dealer got credit for. Back in 16, bike was new with 100 miles on it.

Where the heck was that book when I was working on flat-rate

I think I could change a 6 speed cassette blindfolded in 6 hours LOL 🤣🤣

2.8 hours, 1.5 multiplier, 4.2 hours is the same rate that comes up in my SMP (Service Manager Pro) labor guide.

I quote 4.  Book will also allow set up and administration time.
