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]

Luckily, my tank will get me about an hour of freeway before I need gas anyway. Lol. But yeah, I hear ya. I've calculated 10 fuel stops. So just the distance alone + time at fuel stops.....that's a friggin 12 hour day. We've decide if we do muscle through, were taking it easy the following day. There's a tour or a minuteman nuke silo we want to take that's just SE of Wall, SD that we want to check out. So we might do that, and a loop around the Badlands national park and call it a day and rest.
We change our minds everytime we talk about it lol. [Reply]
I KNOW... 25k is nothing for that motor....some guys have turned those GW's into nice rides....corbin seats, aftermarket pipes, straight bars. etc... [Reply]

Dude, there is a guy locally who is always at bike nights that I see, rides an early 80s wing (or whatever the name was back then). Last year my brother and I were riding to Rawhide HD for a bike night on the outter road of i35 in Olathe and saw him approach ahead at a T-intersection....stop, the turn right to head in the same direction in front of us. Except he blasted a wheelie a good 30 yards. Next thing we know a cop flys past my brother and I to chase home down, and did (guy pulled over). Saw hime later at the bike night. Man. That glide was a beast. All beat up. Four different colors. But that dude could ride the shit out of it. I think he was even wearing a novelty Viking helmet. Not even kidding :-). [Reply]
