I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.
Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16)
Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you:
Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere
Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel)
C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel
Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too. http://www.jakewilson.com - Free 3 day shipping on orders over $75 [Reply]

Did you seriously compare a Honda to a Ferrari, sir? [Reply]

That was the one thing I wanted to do with my dad when he was still able and didn't get it done. I will take my son when he is a little older. There is a lot of great footage on youtube. I hate it when they play music instead of letting you hear the bikes though. Good stuff. [Reply]

I ride a 2005 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe.
Previous bike was a 2005 Honda Shadow Aero
Frenquently check your tire air pressure
Next bike will most likely be a Heritage Softail
Topeka Harley Davidson was very good to deal with when looking at my first HD last year.

Fine, you don't want to take the risk. That's your choice and nobody will judge you. But why even post in a thread about motorcycles? [Reply]

I had my hd in the shop to get the oil changed, etc, when a big storm came through town and blew the roof off the place. I went by to check on the bike. guy told me it was still in the shed out back and it was ok, since only a couple pieces of tin blew off that roof. so, they call me a couple days later, saying it was done. picked it up and took it home. last night I went to get on it for a short ride and noticed a chip on the front fender about the size of my fingernail. i'm pissed. don't think there's much sense in calling and bitching since I've had it home a couple days now, but shit...:-)
sec
You should definitely go back and tell them to fix that. They got insurance. [Reply]
