"Local shop"? Was it an Indy or HD Dealership? I would have been pissed! I think you got screwed. No problem going in and it sounds like they didn't test ride it. You could have been killed! I spend about $200 for a new rear tire, tube, and rim strip from JP Cycles and carry the wheel to my local Indy that charges me $50 for mounting and balancing. I bought a 12 point socket for the brake pins from Napa Auto Parts.
