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]

I'm s.t.o.k.e.d.!
yeah, I'm all too familiar with over-priced bikes. Hell, I just got the Street Glide lol.
100 year old technology, air cooled bike, but $$$.
Victory's are engineered way better and are probably more reliable....but I still love the HD, even though it's over priced.
You planning on keeping her stock? or are you doing any mods to her? [Reply]

I wish Victory made a bike that had GPS built in like the new Harley..that's the only thing holding me back from buying a new Victory..I also like the Road Glide for its shark nose fairing that's attached to the frame..if Victory had those 2 things I would have a new one [Reply]

That's not a difficult upgrade to acquire, to be honest. [Reply]

What are you going to do now that you don't have to stop every 90 miles for gas? Better get you but in shape cause you are going to be in the saddle longer.
Congrats, she looks very nice. [Reply]

I know..I guess I'm just one of those assholes that think if you pay that much you should get some of the modern perks
After I took a trip to Texas at the beginning of March and got to ride a brand new Street Glide with the built in Nav I was sold on that feature..to get on the bike and know it is always ready with GPS is something I fell in love with
But like I said I'm an asshole and maybe I should just buy one and get a RAM Mount lol [Reply]
