That's what we're going to have to do. The local dealer wants $100 per tire to mount and balance...and that's if we buy the tires from them, which would be $65 more than buying them online. Having them install tires from elsewhere would be more he said. LOL Talk about rape.
So, looks like this will be a DIY job.
I have been having problems with the server running out of resources and giving errors. It is better but I'm still getting some periodically. Please report any you get to me at ken@kyler.com.

Re: Tire size question
I've got a garage, tools, irons, and experience if anyone wants to make a fun evening of it. Even got a freezer full of Flavor-Ice for when it gets hot. They do get easier with time - I'm down to about an hour per tire, including removing/reinstalling on a bike with no center stand.Kath wrote:That's what we're going to have to do.

I could show you the Dude's method (it's like the wrong way, only faster and with more cussing and beer).
Re: Tire size question
Well, I'm going to go ahead and order the tires and maybe we'll take you up on that. Sounds fun! LOL My only goal is to get them installed and scrubbed a bit before 777.
Re: Tire size question
$100 for a tire swap!
You should firebomb that place just for suggesting that.
As everyone else has said, its a huge pain in the nuts, but honestly not really that hard. Especially if the Dude or someone shows you how to do it once or twice.

Why don't you join us Ken? Did I mention a fridge full of fancy beer and the only legal water crossings in MoCo are within 2 miles of either direction of me?Kyler wrote:if doodly bails on you, I can help.
Re: Tire size question
I do need to mount my trials tire... but time is running out and I have way to many honey-does to get done before I go to Pike's Peak. My riding schedule has infringed on my spousal task list and domestic bliss is being jeopardized.the dude himself wrote:Why don't you join us Ken?
