Author Message   Two_buells Posted on Saturday, June 03, 2006 - 05:26 pm:        Local H-D dealer wants over $300.00 retail for a set of Dunlop D616 (install not included)....best price I found on-line was $217.00 b4 shipping and they are all on back-order. I have a trip at the end of the month and want to get a new set of sneakers...... I had good luck with Bridgestone Battlaxx 014's on my other Buells. I might go with them. I'm also looking into changing my own tires, I'm just tired of paying high prices to change tires.. http://www.tireqwik.com/tireqwik/index.html   Henrik Posted on Saturday, June 03, 2006 - 09:25 pm:        This seems like a nice set-up, but pricey: No-Mar Tire Changer Henrik   Chris_in_tn Posted on Saturday, June 03, 2006 - 09:57 pm:        Harbor Freight sells a good set up for motorcycles. If you can catch it on sale it is even better. As far as tires go the best prices I have found on tires lately is from Ron Ayers. http://www.ronayers.com/catalogs/tires/type.cfm?secid=2   Two_buells Posted on Saturday, June 03, 2006 - 10:21 pm:        http://www.4strokes.com/reviews/harborfreight/mctirechanger/ Chris, I'm going to get the Harbor Freight tire changer tomorrow. It's on sale also $79.90 I should have done this years ago   Bienhoabob Posted on Sunday, June 04, 2006 - 09:07 pm:        I just ordered the Harbor frt mctire changer. It's on sale for 34.99. Same site as above.   Stevenknapp Posted on Sunday, June 04, 2006 - 09:15 pm:        Bob, you can save shipping and just pick it up in person, there is a store in Arlington Heights. Be warned, the clamps the HF changer comes with barely clamp onto the Uly rim. AND I had issues clearing the pulley. I gave up and took it to LS-HD and paid them ~$36. My friend Ron is making new bits for his H-F changer to make things easier.   Two_buells Posted on Sunday, June 04, 2006 - 10:19 pm:        Bob, you need both pieces....the Motorcycle Tire Changer Attachment is meant to be used with the Portable Tire Changer but both are sold separately. That why mine was 79 bucks. read the review   Bienhoabob Posted on Monday, June 05, 2006 - 10:40 am:        I ordered both pieces. Shipping was another 10 bucks. Steve, when your friend modifies the HF changer to better suit the Uly, let me know. Maybe he could rig up another set for me. I'll pay of course.   Whodom Posted on Monday, June 05, 2006 - 11:28 am:        You know, tire irons and rim protectors do a pretty good job and aren't THAT hard to use. Scrap 2x4's and a handy stationary object (like the exposed studs on your garage wall) will make a cheap/easy bead breaker.
