I noticed pushing the bike out tonight to be extremely difficult. Okay, I thought low tire. I checked it 4.5 psi ... ooo nooo big azz piece of aluminum in a 6000 mile tire. I called Harley $400 for tire and install. I wasnt ready for new tires bc I wanted to get rims and tires. Looks like I will be looking for a great wheel package.

Looking for a 21" 3.5 and a 17" rear...

 

coulda been worse, at least you're at home.

 

Yep, yep, you could have been way out in the country/mtn's with no cell service!

$400 for a tire?

 

Ya 400 sounds high. I always check the tires before I leave. I dont want to put my wife in harm. I am glad we were home.

 

That sounds high for just a tire

 

I just had one put on for $289. If there is another dealer around do some price shopping.

 

Put an inside patch on it and pretend it is new. No issues whatsoever with an inside patch.

If ya replace it, let me know if the 19"" is the one that's flat, I may buy it from ya, no warranty expected, knowing it has ONE hole in it.

Thanx, RD

 

picked up a giant screw in my back tire last weekend. Plugged it in the center of the tread, but replacing it saturday for $240 at the dealer.

 

Everything under the sun has been going up in price over the years and it seems exponentially compared to most incomes but with this thread and one or two others about the prices of tires for MC's is just ridiculous!

I'm beginning to believe HD and Obama are in cahoots on trying to extract every dollar we have.

 

Obama has some catching up to do......
