Should of just bought 3 tire irons for a few bucks and take the tires off yourself its not that hard to do. I do agree 80 bucks is alot. My dealer cost 65/hr takes care of me as far as I'm concerned. Always let's me know what it's gonna cost before hand. In fact just before XMAS I had a SE 103 kit, and the chrome engine kit and a V&H Pipe installed and total labor was 800 bucks.

so you walk in and have them take tires off of wheels expecting them to work for free and then come to a forum crying about the fact that they expected to get paid for their time and labor? what the hell man. how bout I come to your place of business and expect you to provide a service and not pay **** then talk **** on the internet about you.

Went to the dealership here in Michigan today and just needed to get tires dismounted from laced street bob wheels and I go back in to pick them up and they wanted to charge me almost $80 for 1 hour of service.................REDICULOUS if you ask me.................obviously didnt pay that..................sorry, just needed to vent about the dealerships and the way in which they treat customers who have bought two brand new bikes and a ton of parts from them, cant believe it. Side note does anyone have a suggestion as to where I could take the laced wheels after powdercoating to get them trued????? Thanks
Truing at my local indy will charge $30 per wheel. I heard the dealer charging $40 for truing.

First my tire Guy charges me just above his price for the tires, And 35.00 to mount and balance each tire and put back on the Bike. And just went up 5.00 a tire the nerve of that guy trying to make a living. I bring him my car, truck, tractor and everything with tires.
