Shopping for tires, found an online source for Avon Cobras. Front $148, rear $172 plus $25 to ship. Should I keep looking or buy.  TIA |

Seems pretty good.
HDL will price match if you call them.
Other places to check motoxoutlet and Dennis Kirk

Look around the web. I seached and found a place that had them listed less than HDL. I called them and told them and they matched the price and had them at my door with in three days. Try this thread : http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,912.0.html |

bought a new Cobra for my gold Wing.
My best price including the shipping was Dennis Kirk.
Some sites had better price on the tire alone, but when the shipping was added then Dennis Kirk was best.
I checked about 10 sites.

HDL not only matches the pricing, it has free shipping. A win-win situation.

WTF, price matching.
Idea is, I will charge you $200 if you are dumb enough to pay it. When you tell me I can get it for $100 at XYZ Dist., THEN I will sell it to you for $100, but only then. What a screw job.
Give me your price, and stick to it.
If you never buy the $100 item from XYZ, he will go out of business, and then HDL will be able to charge $200 for the item he should only be charging $100 for.
What a Rip Off.

Dennis Kirk will usually match prices also. Works for me as they're only a little ways down the highway.
