That's a great deal too Al ... I understand that a guy has to make a profit but 5 minutes shopping turned up a price of around $210.00 for the rear and $160.00 for the front. that leaves a lot of gravy ( $600.00 ) for his installers :>(

Buah Ha Ha I just started to back read and snorted half a cup of coffee thru my schnoz at the"Flying Squirrel" before realizing this wasn't the Poseriam...Sorry just woke up...Typical Michigan spring damp cold day so woke up with Buster snuggled up all cozy...and no, no "flying boxer remarks"...

yep...having him do bearings while he's at it....He says " This is what the bearings cost me, I'll just charge you labor"...Told him I appreciate it but he has to mark them up a little.

I'm going with the Dunlop D407 front and rear. For a long time our dealer was the cheapest around ... They ran a special every spring, any tire size installed on the scooter for $160.00 plus $18.00 for a tube ( I have spoked wheels ) and it included balancing. Now I know that couldn't run that special but $450.00 per tire is friggin' ridiculous.

Sometimes I think there may be a bit of information overload here, just sayin'..
Morning all.
Just a bit of helping the wife with yard work today.
Which means my day sucks.

The price of tires is important information, Al.

That is f'n outrageous man. No local indy guys you like to deal with? I don't have a 180 on the back of Ol' Blue, but I could get both tires (E3s)mounted and balanced for about that money here.
