I bought mine at the Honda shop here in Greeley. The mounting was included with the tire purchase.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

No I haven't bought any in the past couple years, but didn't ride much last year because of a knee injure.
Plan on changing that this season as I have rode it quite a bit already, but should make the whole riding season on these.
probably have to get some next year, :roll: no telling what they'll cost by then.

Had a buddy just replace a rear one last week and he said it was a $100 more than the last.

The ones I chose were $131.00 front, and $180.00 for the rear, + tax and $80.00 to mount the front.
Just got back from getting the front mounted. They quoted me $125.00 to mount the rear, which I did not get from them.

Always been my experience is if you buy a tire through a MC shop there mounting prices are much better than if you buy one online and then take it to them to mount.

It is an eye opening experience. Back in the 80s I about lost my mind when a rear tire cost 140.00.

I use a privately owned MC shop here Bub's cycle shop and if you but his tires, he mounts them for free.
Not sure what he charges if you bring your own.
I do know a guy out north of town that works at another MC shop and does work at home also.
He used to charge $25 to mount either front or back, but he may charge a little more now.
I bought the last two from Bub.

That sounds about like the Harley dealer here.
I don't let them work on mine.

Yeah, my son has a Buddy that owns a small shop here in town. Gonna go see him next week. I'm sure he'll be more reasonable. I shoulda done that to begin with, but my impatience kicked in I guess. :roll:
