That's a good deal on the tire and the mounting. Everywhere I call tells me they want 125 to mount the tire. Even after they wanted 300 bucks for it.

I don't know what part of SC you are in, but Rusty Nuts Originals on State Park will do it for $35 I believe. Also, Cherokee Cycles on Hwy 14 in Greer will do it for about the same price, I think.

Yeah, the Harley website says $240 for just the tire, I have no idea what they'd charge to mount it. Revzilla wants $192 for the tire. I paid $178 including sales tax for it, and it will be $25 for them to mount it, I'm still ahead.

I'm glad I found this place because my warranty is up in July, and the shop has great reviews.

I have to say not a great deal of difference other than the bars seat and wheels.

I finally found a good condition, correct fender for my '83 XLX with decent paint on it. The earlier fenders in this style had flat mounts and the mounts were shorter, fitting the fender closer to the tire. The fender radius also followed the tire better. I previously had a big XLH fender on it that weighed a ton.
