Does anyone one know some one who will install dark side tires in the Gainesville area?
If not how about the Tampa bay area?

For Starters, look for Motorcycle shops that are not Dealerships. Your luck will be much better with a custom shop.
I can recommend shops that have done Darkside mounting for me and some of my friends.
1. Ferrara's Fabrication in Spring Hill, FL mounted my Darkside tires for me, but they were not on the bike at the time. Call for details
352-346-6903
2.VENOM Custom Motorcycles in New Port Richey. 727-816-8700 They have mounted Darkside for friends of mine, and will be doing my Harley when I get back form TX.

Son of a friend has a shop that has mounted them for me here in Orlando. Not sure it's any closer than Tampa or NPR. Probably easier access though using I-75>T'pike>408(toll east)>436...south on 436 maybe 1/2 mile on the left.

Look up High Performance Cycles in Lake City FL. Jeff the owner is a stand up guy. I used to install my own Dark Side tires here at home on the Valkyries but when I wanted one on the Rocket III I took it to Jeff. Problem on the Rocket III is that there is no dish or indentation in the center of the wheel. He said he had to change shirts after that ordeal and that he wouldn't do another Rocket III wheel but he probably will do the Valkyrie. I took the wheel off and took it to him to save $$.

Any mom and pops tire shop would do it for you provided the tire is off the bike. If anyone trying to question it just tell them it's for a trike. I've done it few times with zero questions but just in case.
