It would be good to strip off the plastic once it's home and check all the hoses, battery connections, etc. Tires more than 5-years old are suspect. Eighteen...
OK, so I bought a set of Metzelers and need to get them mounted and balanced. Called the local Honda shop for a labor cost: $183 and change. Yeow! It would...
The PC I bought came with a Rifle windscreen. I would like to put the Honda OEM screen on, but I get the feeling there are quite a few missing parts that will...
Is it typical... it's not unusual. I think my dealer charges me around $40 per to put on a new tire (not bought from them) if I bring in the wheel. If he has...
You would think so from looking at the Rife, but there aren't. The OEM will go right back in place of the Rifle. I've had them both, plus a Clearview. Tim...
We always charged less if the tire was purchased from us. A tire purchased from us was a set price to mount and balance. Purchased elsewhere it was hourly at...
What is your first name and where do you live? The one indipendant shop I use charges me $15 pre wheel to mount and balance if I take off the wheels and bring...
My local dealer charges $85 for both wheels if I buy the tires from them, and TWICE that if I don't. So I finally bought a Harbor Freight tire changer with...

Hey what are you guys doing with our winter weather down there? I'm worried you won't give it back to us in time for my annual spring break ride south of the...

Hey Tim, Can't do much with something that doesn't hang around long:( I really would like to see a good snow since we haven't had one in a while. But what we...

OK then, I am picking up my new 1998 PC 800 on the 2nd, cannot stand the wate. Question, I want to go on a photo safari the third day, can the bike be made to...
No problem if the recharging can be done with 12v. Installing an accessory outlet, or two, is a snap. The hardest part is deciding where you want to put it....
If you are mechanically inclined at all I'd do my own mounting. You can do it with tire irons and a c-clamp to break the bead. You can also buy a tire...
From what I was told, the 12v accessory chargers are unregulated and can "cook" a cell phone. It happened to me on a business trip during my working days....
I've seen pictures of a bunch of holes drilled out at the end of the tail pipeon a PC. That would make it louder but not much of a performance increase. ... --...
Yeah, that's outrageous. And perfectly normal, in this "Doctors on Harleys" world. When someone's willing to pay $30,000 for a bike, what's a $100 tire ...
Hi All, Seeing as it is snowing here in Ohio and no riding happening I thought I would stir the pot. Shortly I am going to have enough cash to upgrade from my...

You might still be able to find a new Connie collecting dust in a dealership somewhere for under $8k. They're good bikes, debugged because of being produced...
... Hutch, You are a brave man! <grin> - A very quick peek at ebay makes me think you will probably not find a decent ST1300 nor R1150RT for $8000, unless you...
After crashing my beloved 1996 PC, I bought a used Concours, a 2001, with 30,000 miles for $4k. You will have a hard time finding a new one. There is no 1997...
Gilbert, A recent search on Cycle Trader found.... 14 2003-2004 ST1300's between $7-9G, a couple with ABS 5 2002-2004 R1150RT's between $7-9G 6 2002-2004...
Like a number on this site I have always mounted my own tires. I've lost count over the hundreds of thousands of miles on motorcycles. My feeling is why pay...
