New tires
Who do most use to install new tires? Local Hd wants a little over $500 for each wheel including tires. That sounds nuts to me. I think I will try my old Yamaha Dealer. When I had a Road Star, they only charge $25.00 to install tires if you bought them there. I wonder if they would give me the same deal on my EGC

Well, just my luck that Cycle Gear has sold me all the tires for my latest scoot. If you buy from them, they mount and balance for $25+tax. It's like 10. more if you carry your own tire in. They only do carry ins, as they aren't equipped to remove them from a bike.
They won't sell a road warranty on tubed tires, but they do for tubeless I see theirs a location on 846 North Military Trail in West Palm.
It's still my hope of acquiring a changer stand in the near future.

Geting new full set of Michelin's Commander II's installed this week at a local indy for $465 + tax for BOTH tires, mounted, balance, installed. Will be right at $500 for the pair out the door. Local stealership wanted $750 + tax for the same tires...

You can save more bucks, if you order on line a set of Michelin Commander II (front and rear) with 2 day free shipping, for less than $300, then let the local indy shop install/balance both tires, for around $60.

Jackhis, I thought you were a local buddy of mine at first!
He just did this, and has been giving me $hit about it! His tires should be here Wednesday, and will have a local shop install them. He saved about $100 over what I paid, but I'm getting some other work done, Chrome wheels installed, Chrome front end installed, 35K service, so a little extra wasn't bad in my book, we all gotta eat...

Just had a rear tire put on my '11 Ultra Classic and it cost $298. This was at my local Harley Dealer. 500 is just ridiculous. I've been riding a long time and have never had a dealer charge anything even close to that for a tire replacement.
