I carried in the rear tire assy. had the tire replaced with narrow w w.&nbsp\\; New tire mounted and balanced with labor $197. Columbus IN

 

pete, that is still too much for a front tire. Which dlr in NH?

I got 3 quotes from 3 NH dlrs closest to me for front and rear replacement D402's.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; $455.00, $431.00 and $395.00 mounted, balanced and installed. The last quote is my local dlr and they don't require an appointment. In by 3 out by closing. I will be there when they open.

I should add that the tires are blackwall and were $221.00 pair.

 

soos, it was Nashua HD. Which dealer gave you the best price and doesn't require an appt.
&nbsp\\;
This is for the D402 with the wide white wall. Front tire.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;

 

Update. Went with the blackwall (can't see the back tire anyway!) and it's ~ $155.00 + tax. Free installation. That's the Dunlop 402 at the Corpus Christi HD. And that's the BACK TIRE!

 

Seacoast in \\; N. Hampton. 1-888-333-0001

Hey pete, Seacoast is the same price as Nashua. Didn't realize that you have spokes.

 

Thanks soos. I have 23k on my original front tire and time to replace it.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;

 

Me too. Goin in tomorrow morning then heading up to Laconia for the day.

 

So it would of been cheaper if you didn't get the custom scratch and decolorization of the frame? [8D]
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;

 

The scratches are why I started doin' my own 20 years ago.&nbsp\\; The shop "tire monkey" isn't paid enough to care about *your* bike.

New Dunlop sittin' on my shop floor cost $117 delivered.&nbsp\\; It'll cost me 'bout an hour (maybe two if I'm lazy) when I get around to changin' it.&nbsp\\; I changed a neighbors front tire on his Triumph yesterday.&nbsp\\; We spent an hour or so tinkerin', talkin' &amp\\; changin' his tire.&nbsp\\; I balanced his wheel (without the tire), the heavy spot on that wheel is about 90 degrees from the valve stem.&nbsp\\; Then we mounted the tire &amp\\; balanced it.&nbsp\\; Took fewer weights than it would have if a shop had just jammed the tire on with the weight mark at the valve stem.

When I mount new tires on my FLTR I'll be installin' these...&nbsp\\; www.motorcycleanchor.com/tire_valves/index.htm

I'm a lot more comfortable with the work I do than what I get at shops.

 

Have fun.
