I paid a guy $15 just the other day to change my front tire on the R6. I took the wheel/tire off of the bike and reinstalled it but I had him take the tire off of the wheel and install/balance it.

He's also a racer and needed the $$ and lives close by.

I've always taken the wheels off myself and took them to have the tires mounted and balanced. I think I paid $25 per last time...and that was at a Honda dealer.

It's nice not to have to worry about this as much.

What do tires for the GS cost versus sport tires?

$30 each off the bike at the HD place. Neither the Zuke/Kawi dealer or the Honda/Yami dealer will touch a Buell rim.
