    ATTENTION Bike riders

    Any of you houstonian bike riders know a cheap place for changing tires? I don't want to go to the harley dealers just to have em charge me 120 for work. Got my own tires online of course :0

    Honda charged me 40 each to install them. Do you have a stand where you could take them just the rims and tires? Any shop should do it regardless of brand if so.

    Oh and before any morons get to this thread... ALL PEOPLE ARE WELCOME. Just looking for the opinion of people who have knowledge on this subject. I have no problems with people who do or do not believe in motorcycles. I also have no problems with people who do or do not agree with the riding of motorcycles.

    I would call small motorcycle repair shops in your phone book. Paying the little extra for the piece of mind of having it done right may be worth it.

    I am with everyone else don't you guys have small independent shops? They are normally cheaper and generally far easier to deal with it. Plus you are supporting a small business which feels good.
