So how did it turn out? I took my tires to Bert's with the old tires/rims off the bike. They charged me $100 total.

 

I had the tires installed a month or so ago. They did a great job. It was $140 for the installation which included the rim removal and reinstall. I'm happy with the American Elite's so far. My net cost for the tires was $455 ($355 tires, $140 installation, -$40 Dunlop rebate).

 

$140, and they took the wheels off the bike? That's a great deal.

 

Yes, $70 per wheel.

 

Manor Cycle did you well?

 

Make the trip across the bay and go to Thunder bay Cycles on Hillsborough Ave. or Tampa V-Twin up on No. Florida Ave. I got my Dunlop Elite Wide whitewall at T-VT for under $200 and had it installed on the bike at Thunder Bay for $60.


The two most honest shops I know. Been doing business with them both for over 20 years. The one time I strayed and went some place else it was a nightmare.

 

Great to know there are at least some reputable shops. There are certainly a lot of bad ones.

 

Yes. They did the 15k service and installed my new tires. I'll be going back!
