He probably doesn't want to travel that far! LOL

SCG1953:

What's that he's got in the shop hiding under a cover? Could it be a new, NHRA Legal, wicked 68 SS Hemi Barracuda? I think soooo.......

You best bet is to remove the wheel from your bike, take it to the dealer/indi of your choice (hopefully the one with the best tire machine, and with the new style dynamic balancer). Either buy the tire from that place or get it from J & S or Dennis Kirk.

I hate letting another mechanic touch my bike.....even more so when it comes to wheels, but I dont have a tire balancer or wheel machine for mounting them on the rim, so I have to take the wheel to the local indi.... for mounting and balancing.

I dont see them charging you any more than $30-$40 for the job. With all them money your saving by removing and reinstalling the wheel yourself could par for the tires!

This is what I do, cost me $35 labor last time.
