I do my own and always have. I'm afraid someone else would scuff my wheels. My dad has spokes on his Road King Classic so I make him take his to the local indy.

I do it on my dirt bike and dual sports tires all the time. But their is no way in hell I would do it on my Harley. The rims just cost to much to scuff them up. The local shop charges 20 buck to mount and balance tires. Free if I buy the tires from them.
