A freind of mine just had a front tire replaced on is Honda Rune.Some of you may think that taking your HD in for a tire replacement is costly,right!
Well his front tire only lasted 5000miles.The tire \\;was $225 plus $275 labor!
The local Kawasaki/Yamaha dealer will order any tire you want, will price match with any internet dealer, and mounts for free......yes, even non-Kawi/Yamaha, which includes HDs.
That is insane for one tire change. \\; I had a place do both tires for $400.00 on my 04 Yamaha a year ago. \\; I know it is comparing apples to oranges but this is my first HD and I have not had to replace tires yet. \\; I just can't imagine EVER paying $1300.00 \\;for two motorcycle tires and labor. \\; Has anyone in the Houston area priced HD tires from Motorcycles Unlimited on FM 1960?. \\; Just curious if their HD tire prices are as good as their import.
