that's why they are referred to as "Stealers"!
you can get a better deal on the tire and the install at an Indy.... and quite possibly make a new freind!

Changing the rear tire is a bit more difficult than on some brands of mtorcycles, easier than others. Some dealers will check the spokes on a laced wheel when changing a tire. Others just change the tire. It takes me about 1 hour to check the spokes, change the tire and balance the assembly on my wifes flstc. Don

Free labor for a tire priced at $200 bucks isn't a smoking deal.

I think it cost me about a hundred bucks for my cross bones when I got a flat, no tire but had to get a new inner tube and a patch for the inside tire, think the tube cost about 25 bucks that was icluded in the price, thats with the harley shop picking the bike up from my house, I always pulled the tires on my other bike, but I dont have the right wrenches yet or the belt tensioner tool yet for the new one. my indy always put the tires on for free when I buy my tire from him anyways though.
