My new BT020B's came in and coincidentally a Harley guy I just met this weekend gave me a tip on a place to get them mounted and balanced.
"The Motorcycle Tire Store " 3301 S. Agnew. OKC.
Now for the rest of the story...
Got to hear this man's diatribe on the fact that Avon's are the only tire worthy of putting on a motorcycle. All other brands were crap or worse.
Showed me a tire that was about half worn out and supposedly had 28 thousand miles on it. On a bike heavier than my BMW. Hmmmm........
Anyway while he gave me his shpiel on tires he got mine mounted and balanced to "his" satisfaction and certainly to mine. I got new stems also.
He knew the tires and wheels were from an LT, I didn't have to tell him.
He knew to put 42 in the front and 48 in the rear, I didn't have to tell him.
Total charge $10.00 Would not accept a tip...Says BMW's get special treatment... Says next time just bring in the bike. Does the whole job for $7.50 per tire..
I kid you not......
