Ticked off -
So today was the warmest day so far and I was starting to mount my rotor and pulley to my new custom wheels that I received.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the rear wheel came with the directional tire mounted backwards. So, I’m really angry and wasted a day. I also have to wait till Monday to resolve because they are closed.
I am not starting a thread on directional tires and how it is safe to run them backwards, so please do not start arguing about that.
Just venting!

Just another reason to buy some tire spoons so you can mount tires yourself 
Although sent as a package, if ordered for a specific bike... They should know. Hopefully you can get reimbursed for the cost to swap it around. Although Im doubtful.

Put my car on jack stands, and used a bottle jack between the rear differential and tire to break the bead. Tie wrap the beads together and tire slips on and off without using any tire irons.
For balancing I used Dyna Beads, looks cleaner without wheel weights.

Quote : $90 at stealer to flip the rubber.
$30 at local Indy.
Then i though a minute and slapped myself
All I needed to do was swap the hub. So I removed it and flipped sides. Duhhhh. All done.
