RE: Reasonable cost of a rear tire install?
Had to replace mine on Tuesday of this week, took a nail on Monday. The Stealer was too busy to do it any time soon, or so they said. Put a Dunlop (non HD) on it from the local Honda shop (the mechanic rides a SG). They charged me $137, installed.

I found the Tire on-line for 125.00, figured I'd still have to have it mounted and balanced for 25.00. So for the extra 125.00 - 150.00 in pain and rise in blood presure of me trying to do it myself. I think I'll drop the bike off on the way to work and let them do it ;-)
Thanks,

I just had to replace my rear on the Ultra due to picking up a nasty piece of steel in the sidewall. I had it replaced at Bleu Bayou HD as I was on the road.

Tire from American Motorcycle Tireis about 125.00, shipping is 8.00, mount and balance 25 to 30.00 if you take the tire off and reinstall it yourself for a total of less than 170.00. Not only do you save 130.00, but by working on your own bike you establish a personal bond.
