Looking for a place to mount motorcycle tires

[Jigs]

I just got my 2 new tires for my cbr and I am looking for a local place to mount them that doesnt want an arm and a leg to do it. If anyone here has the means to do it themselves or knows of a good place let me know where and the price. The cheapest place I could find around here is $120 to mount both tires :thumbdown: for that price i will just do it with a couple tire irons.. haha

I had mine done at hitching post. I think I bought the tire and had it mounted for $80? (it was the rear).

[Jigs]

Yeah its rediculous.. $80 to mount a rear and another $80 to mount a front... What a joke. I think I might be going the tire iron route.

Yeah, that's stupid. Call Kyle at 2k Motorsports.

the best thing to do is take ur wheels off urself. even if ur not too familiar with bike mechanics u can accomplish this through youtube videos need to. Just did this last week to my bike. I always do business with cities edge or slxi, i believe they both charge around $25 or 30 to mount and balance ur rubber

[Jigs]

yeah. the only issue with that is i dont have stands and hanging the bike from the rafters gets a little sketchy..

I will probably just mount and somewhat balance them myself now. I have done it once before and its not too bad.

darren can mount and balance them for you for cheap. otherwise i suggest slxi. if you were not in wi i would also recomend hamle power in hamel. harley place but dudes are way cool and only charge 20 a wheels if off the bike.

$80 bucks to mount a tire? Ouch...I thought $150 to dismount and mount 8 car tires was pricey...

I also know a guy in St. Paul if that is a little closer to you. He will do them for less than $30 a piece off the bike.

If you can take them off Heinen's in Osseo will do front and rear for $50-60.

Yup to all this

Yup here too.

For $20/tire I'm not going to waste my time with tire irons, my time and frustration level is worth way more than that. I get about 15-20 motorcycle tires changed a year, I can't imagine how much time would be spent by me doing it manually!

If you do it yourself how are you going to get the tires off?

Hanging it with 1-2 A-frame ladders works well also.

I break the bead with this contraption I made out of 2x4s. I will probably just hang the bike from the rafters in my garage and yank the tires and bring them in
