I buy the tires online (Motorcycle Superstore or Revzilla or EBay) and have the local Indy install them. I save big $$$$. Ron 😎

Last week I called my local Indy shop and asked if they would be willing to match Jake Wilson's prices on a pair of American Elites. She asked what the price was, and I told her. $155 rear/123 front. She said, "Yeah I can do that". Ordered them, and had them installed a few days later. Price of tires, plus $3 per tire for disposal fee, plus 1.75 hours labor at $65/hour=$397. She printed out the form for the $50 mail in rebate, and gave it to me with my receipt. Don't buy tires at a Harley dealer.

You can buy a set of Avon Cobra for under $300 from Jake Wilson or Dennis Kirk and install them yourself or have an independent do it for a lot less

Another buying option, I bought mine last time from bike bandit for 304.00 free delivery plus on/off the bike and mounting/balancing and disposal at the HD dealer. It was just under 500.00 all said and done.

You've been a member for 8 years. You must have read other threads on the same topic. Surely this can't be an epiphany for you?

You have 3 options:
1. Do it yourself
2. Go somewhere else
3. Pay them

Two new Harley branded tires 180 /16rear and 130/18 front. 549 before tax at twin city Harley, carried out the door. Chrome cash, for 600, no worries. Free tires.....

Mount em up yourself, ride on to balance.
