tyres

and I was quoted 490 for a set of Avons - 120 front 190 rear - which in my
maths is under $500 a set...................

but then again I read it on the net..........................

Haven't made it yet.

 

Did you mention the diffusion velocity?

Hammo

 

It's runnier than you like.....

Mackay - when you buy a pair! I think they can be had in Brisbane for a
similar price

Also Dunlops, Pirelli's and Bridgestones....

 

Fitted?

 

yeah................I just take my wheels in rather than the whole bike

ck

 

Mackay motorcycles?

and I'm in Synee....................bugger

Thats the Synee in Synee

Narr Redline Honda. I looked into it for some other Sydney blokes and
IIRC it was $380 a set, plus about $12 freight per tyre.... but then you
have to fit them

 

[Thinks about how high the front indicators are on a YZF1000]
Faaaarkk!!

**** yeah; he was positively foaming-at-the-mouth!!

 

Bastards quoted me fifty bucks this morning to fit the tyre even
after I told them I was in the market for an R1[1].

Oi! I resemble that remark!

Ya welcome.

[1] I'm not... but I *am* in the market for a test-ride on an R1

 

I guess they took one look and thought, "too much money we'd better fix
that"

is that , remove wheel from bike, remove old tyre, fit new tyre ,
balance tyre, and refit wheel to bike ?

$40 is fair price,

Had a Pirelli Diablo Strada fitted to the TDM today, the shop charged me $10
fitting. I had to ask about it as I've never paid separate for fitting a
tyre ever before. I usually take the wheel in, the shop fits the tyre free
when I buy it there. This shop they said, bring the bike or the wheel, it's
$10 fitting. All because my local has decided its Dunlop or Bridgstone only
for them from now on. I was after eider the PDS (see above) or Metzeler
Roadtec Z6.

St Marys a bit far west for you though JL. Chivos at Granville are usually
pretty good.

Shit am I that predictable ? Yes, two weeks after I asked I still
haven't quite got around to it yet (there's this R1 in the garage ya see)

JL
(who me procrastinate ? Naah I'll get to that later)

 

Predictable? Nuh, just guessing, I wouldn't go anywhere east of Parramatta
for a tyre myself either for much the same reasons. Lithgow would be
preferable to Lane Cove.

Al

 

Perth would be preferable to Lane Cove

 

My sentiments as well...

Very noticable by the feathered edges on the tread.
