Its a "teaser rate" and nothing is ever "Free"....the installation is probably $600

I wouldn't do it. The dealer is betting that you will not ride it as much and you still have to pay to service the bike in order to get new tires. So how much would you have spent before getting new tires, compared to buying and having them do it or do it your self?

Free tires for life means pay the "tire taxes" at the service visits.

Yup! That's the way it is.

Forgot to mention ... whenever I get something "free" especially from a Harley dealer ... I hold on to my wallet!

If you are going though tires by putting miles on the bike you are paying for a lot of services.

Tire lasts 15,000 miles, service is required every 5,000 miles, they charge you $400 for every service and they are making money.

Buy the tire road hazard warranty, when the tires get thin run over a nail or sheet rock screw.
