[QUOTE="blassoff, post: 948152, member: 18977"] I'm with Ray. Two years ago I walked into a local independant and asked about PR2's. They wanted to charge me $420 for the set and another $140 to mount and balance. Oh yea, it was gonna cost extra cause I rode "a bagger". I immediately found a Harbor Freight store, ponied up the $110 for a changer and scoured the internet for mounting and dismounting instructions. I also found a cheap balancer on ebay. For about $200 i learned to pull my wheels, dismount tires, remount tires and balance the suckers. To date I've probably done four or five sets of tires on numerous bikes. Figure I saved $1000 on tires and installation. Im not great at it, but it works. You might wanna consider the same. Baz PS: grab two jackstands, put the tires on the axle between the stands. Rotate. You'll get some resistance, (it's better if you have some roller bearings), but give balancing a try. I've read that if your close it's generally good enough. I've got a balancer and sometimes I'm not sure I'm right. I'm close though, no vibration or wobble, at least to 120mph. Never went faster. [/QUOTE]
