HD Tire Mounting Price

Put new rubber on today...Had to go to the local HD dealer to have them mounted...Nobody else around that wanted to deal with a 300...I brought them the wheels and the new tires...They had to take off the old ones and mount the 2 new ones. Dealer charged me $161...Waited about 30 min. Now I remember why I try not to ever go there!!

The Harley riders here don't even use the local HD stealership.

There's a retired drag racing legend in my hometown, Eddie Hill. He owns a Honda Cycle dealership, and has for 40 yrs. They just put new rubber on mine, front and back, but only a 250 rear tire. I think labor was only $80.

Tire looks good though, and so does your bike....

Yup, did mine with the help of 2 other guys, the 300's are a bitch but certainly doable. The thing is, the stealersip did them exactly like that as they don't have a tire machine that will do a 300...

I took mine to Razee Honda, they know what they're doing. Off the bike $30.00 per tire mounted and balanced.

Those tires are easier to change than a stock mu85/16 but you have to allow them some profit for the risk. I bet if they got a scratch on the rim you would want them to buy you a new $1000 rim, correct?

300's are a pain in the ass...Sidewalls are really stiff...Dealership has a new machine that makes it pretty simple with not much risk to the wheel...Just didnt expect that kind of money.

Steve...CC member Paintpimp (Xtreme Kustom Paintworks...Orlando) did the paint...

Did they first ask what was the year make and model of the bike? It seems anyone at Harley cant do anything for you if you dont have that information! They are utterly useless
