[QUOTE="comleader, post: 2665, member: 279"] I would agree, at least in part, with all of these suggestions. I happen to enjoy working on my bikes ('05 FJR, '00 929RR, and '86 VFR) and have purchased many tools along the way, with more to come. Balancing a motorcycle tire is very easy, and there are many sites on the internet for building your own or purchasing various levels of sophisticated tire balancers. Removing and mounting a tire is a bit more work and takes more caution to avoid scratching rims, but again there is a plethora of consumer equipment available at very reasonable prices. Short of wanting to do your own, I would agree you need to find a reputable, reasonably priced shop and bring in the wheels off the bike. If you can't do that, at least remove any plastic around the tires (fenders, huggers, etc.) that may be damaged. You do not necessarily have to take it to a motorcycle shop. There are auto shops the mount tires on very expensive custom wheels that may be more convenient and not gouge you. [/QUOTE]
