ok i finally got my new back tire on the other day..as stated in another tire thread the dunlops were almost impossible to find due the the dunlop strike..i ended up with a pirrelli and let me tell you it is a nice tire..so anyway i have a friend that has a tire machine that does mc tires..that was free for me..and get this..i went to the dealer to get the tire balanced and it cost me a whopping $3.50..i almost fell over when he told me the price..so back to the reason for the for the post..i need to find a good place to get rear pads cheep..the dealer wants 60 bucks(yeah right)i looked on dennis kirk and i see them for like 30 plus shipping..i want them to cost even less than that..any info would be great..thanks

 

I run EBC Kevlars on my Road King. I get them from Jireh for 19 bucks a set. I'm sure ones for your bike are similarly priced.

 

thanks for the reply..but ive noticed that the 04-07 sportsters are different and because of that they want to screw us over..i went to local indy yesterday and he didnt even realize the pads are different..he said sure i have them and took me back to show me the pads he had in stock.and i said none of them look like the ones i need..he looked at the packages and said ill be damned they dont list the 04-07 sportys..he was gonna order some just so he will have them.i could have got pads for an 03 from him for 16 bucks..now that seems like a fair price for pads..i also got a new rotor for the bike and dont want to put it on till i get the new pads..

 

My local Indy had them for my '05 for twenty something I think it was...

When i changed the rear at 11k the old ones were probably only half gone... still running the fronts...

thanks alot!! now thats the price ive been looking for..

 

I saw some on ebay for 26.00 for the rear and 28 for the front , the auction said they had 30 sets . I just priced some for my 1200r at the stealer 139.00 for all three sets I to am looking else where .

 

the dealer is a total rip-off,thats the reason im looking elsewhere..you know how it is when your a p.e.b.(poor everyday biker) you have to cut corners to keep riding..

 

well i just placed the order..thanks again

 

wow that site is awsome...i ordered the pads at 7 pm and i already got an email saying they are shipped..kinda hard to believe since it is sunday..we will see how fast they arrive.
