That just the tire, or with labor?

I have used these folks and shipping is pretty quick, and prices are not too bad either, just search for the brand you want.

Good luck  :thumbup:

Went to the dealer today to pick up my new tank and they cut me a deal on an Dunlop E-3 so tire problem solved.

E-3 rear tire at Jake Wilson online $195  plus no sales tax  Thats where I bought my last set. Figure I saved close to 100 bucks. course you have to remove the wheel your self.

It may be a long ride for you but I get all mine at Central Texas power sports in Georgetown. They have the best prices in central Texas.
I got a rear tire me880 installed for right at $190

I went with the Bridgestone Exedras on my 1800F from CycleWerkz in Fort Worth.  I paid $110 for the front, $135 for the rear.  I think they only charged $10 or so to install, but I took the wheels off myself.
