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 think you would be ok w/out a fairing on the Breakout. We did 700 in 3 days this past weekend. My brother on a night train and me on my 72. We were a little beat up by the time we got home, but nothing so bad that we won't do such a ride again. [Reply]

I would have to agree..I really like their motor and I really don't see anybody with a Victory..they are very smooth and reliable..make good power..never really hear any complaints about them [Reply]
the only thing I've heard is they're a bit of a pain to sell via private party. I've heard this from the 4 or 5 buddies I have that have owned them. simply because of the used HD market. But for me, personally, I don't let such things dissuade me from buying one. I'd buy one for sure.
That Hardball looks killer. I'm a sucker for baggers and bobbers. [Reply]

I got a buddy with a Victory and he loves it. I think they are great looking bikes [Reply]
yep, exatly.
the only thing I would like to see done differently on that particular Victory is to have a slightly larger/diameter front wheel. other that, it's damn near perfect. [Reply]
I just bought a 2001 Triumph Sprint RS 955i. no fairings (they are half naked to start with) or headlight, but came with a headlight ill have to install and get wired up. Good Pirelli super corsa 3's, not banged up or beat up, clean bike.
500 bucks on the bro price from one of my sales managers here at work. He bought it as a trade in here a while back, didn't like the headlight so took it off, then got bored with it. I pretty much stole the thing from him. Cheap ones are bringing about 1500-2000, I figure ill ride it this season, see how I feel about it and sell it off next year if I get the inkling~ [Reply]
