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]
This is a timelapse of part of my trip home. I have to tell you, traveling solo was really cool. If you haven't tried it, do it. Don't let people scare you out of it. I had a lot of people give me the "I don't know man, are you sure you want to do this by yourself?" bit. I'm so happy I didn't listen to the naysayers. Anyways, production isn't my strong point. Just lined the clips up, and put some music to it. Hope you enjoy it.
found a builder that specializes in sportys by the name of Jeff Cochran. I absolutely LOVE his style. I would probably cut off a pinky toe of mine to get one.
not one of his builds, but I like this one. part of me would like to have a bobber that's just a rat-bike. no paint, just a seat, wheels, and motors. ....and brakes.
2014 street glide here, any other people with the 2014+ Rushmore non special Harleys think the radio is a pile of shit? I mean the sound is decent but it goes haywire with your phone every time I ride. [Reply]
I had heard on the 14 and 15 Harleys that the radio was a weak link and I think lots of people had been replacing them..through either warranty or aftermarket [Reply]
sumbitch I would be pissed if I dropped that kind of coin on a basically new bike / newly redesigned etc and had issues like that right out of the gate. Hope that shit is under warranty. it better be. [Reply]
My 2013 Road King had the low beam of the headlamp go out. The 2 side lights next to the headlamp also did not work. The high beam did, however. I checked fuses and to see if there were any connection issues elsewhere (including the toggle switch for the side lights) that I could see but didn't notice anything. Took it to the local HD dealer and it was a wire in a wire connector/harness in the headlamp that had broken, $104 later. :-) I wish some of these companies had a little more faith in their products and warrantied them longer than 2 years.

If there was an aftermarket radio available right now to pop in there I would, I don't have a special so there is no navigation and I'm sure as hell not spending 2k for harley's unit with navigation cause I know it has the same issues I have since my brother has a 15' road glide special. It's not that bad, but since it's difficult to fuck with your phone while you're riding it it just pisses me more than anything.. [Reply]

I have the 14 SG special and radio sucks ass, but I still love the bike. [Reply]
