I hope that coupon is worth a bunch.  Was just pricing a front tire for my 02 Standard, locally, I can have it mounted for $60 if I dropped the bike off or if I just take them the dismounted wheel/tire, then it's $30.  Price for a new Metzler was $139.  Didn't price the back one yet, still considering going darkside.

And that was a pic when it was new I'm betting.... cause it sure doesn't look like it has mile one on it, unless you are counting trailer miles...

Nice looking tire BTW...

Shinko tires at  http://www.chaparral-racing.com  are a nice price....  IMO

I just installed a new Avon Cobra up front and a Falken Ziex 512 205/65-16 rear (also available in 205/60-16).  It's my 4th Avon front and my second DS rear.  My bike handles better than it ever has.  The Falken feels like a MC tire.  It's great.

i usually get my tires from the motorcyclesuperstore.com. Usually the cheapest and free shipping

I bought a set of The Shinko 890's from Motorcycle Super Store last week.

They had both in stock and matched Chapparral's price: $236.79 for the set and FREE shipping.

I haven't gotten them installed yet but I REALLY like how they look.

Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you
meet.

Mr.BubblesVRCCDS0008

Bought and Avon front from HDL 190 minus 10% = 171 with free shipping. I bought a few other things to make the 200 dollar free shipping amount.
