I got sick of $40 to mount and balance one tire...off the bike.
I have friend who will mount the tires for me at his auto shop for free, and another auto shop I used to go to that'll mount them for $10 a piece.
Most car tire machines can mount bike tires too, so it's worth asking.
Alot of the newer car tire balancers can balance bike wheels also(theirs can't).
So another friend bought one of Redline's tire balancers for around $120...and it is excellent. Tires balance perfectly and all the bikes are smooth all the way to top speed.
A BIG bag of stick-on weights is only $7 and available in black or unfinished.
I have machine mounted and balanced countless car/truck tires, and hand mounted too many dirtbike tires.
There is no way it's worth $80 to mount and balance 2 tires, especially if you only get 2k to 3k miles per set, or less.
I don't care enough for the local dealer anymore to get raped by their ridiculous prices.
If you can find an auto shop that'll mount your tires for a a fair price(and maybe even balance them). Or buy a balancer if they can't,
it'll pay for itself in no time.
You can even buy an inexpensive hand tire changer if you like, but I'de rather not put forth the effort in that if I don't have to.
To you guys that take the bike somewhere but wish you didn't have to;
The money you spend on stands, hand tools, and a balancer, (and changer if you like), will save you a fortune in the long run.
