Who knows the best place to swap tires out? I am picking up a set of take off's and the place I called charges $27.50 per tire to change out. Thats pretty costly when its two tires and I have to put my regular tires back on. So anyone know where its cheaper?
<-------- $15 per wheel mounted and balanced

Wheels on or off the bike?
On the bike.
Konichd is that one or off the bike?
I would do it off bike but my front stand is broken so no joy there. Have to ride it in unfortunatly
I was just like you. Paying $60 to mount and balance a set of tires. One Sunday I needed to swap tires bad so I could go on an early Mon. morning ride. Ofcourse nobody is open, so I said F**K it. I went down to harbor freight and bought a bead breaker for $19.99 and a balancer for $59.99. I already had a set of irons for changing dirt bike tires. I was intimidated by changing tires on a sportbike. It's actually twice as easy as changing dirtbike tires. You don't have a tube to mess with and you have alot more rubber to play with. They go on like butter compared to a dirtbike tire on a skinny rim.
For $80 you never have to worry about this again, assuming you have race stands. Even if you don't you can get a set for $80. In three tire changes all this stuff will pay for itself.
That is off bike, on bike mounting is $30 per wheel mounted and balanced

I was looking at getting another set of rims off ebay for the same idea. I will have to look into that when I get back from this deployment. Thanks for the idea.
I have a set of front and rear stands you can borrow.
I go to BAFB everyday if you work out of that base.
