      Anyone change their own tires? I fucking tired of paying the shop to do it.
      No, but take wheels off and bring them in separate. Only about $60 F/R with mounting and balancing.

      Mine still lives!

          i've used a no-mar before and they are really nice. a friend and i are gong to split one for our track bikes since we go through a lot of tires.

            That looks like a good unit. If you take the plunge let us know how it works out.

            One thing is though that you would still need to take your wheels to get balanced...

              they sell a balancer for $100 (or so) that's just as easy to use

                  Good things come to those who are patient. Found this brand new for my bike. It hasnt been made since like '05. Picked it up for 467 shipped.

                  (excuse the dirty floors. apartments suck they've been stained since we moved in.)

                    I know it's not a sport bike, or anything special...but it was my first bike. It was in really rough shape when I got it. I fixed it up and started modding. The plastics on the rear were cracked so I didn't thing it was worth it to purchase new ones or have them painted.

                    It's slow, it's underpowered, but it's nimble...

                        me?

                        Yea it's garaged right now. Though if the frame on my recently purchased E30 checks out fine and cancer is superficial...I may sell the bike to fund a motor swap and suspension

                          I've got a '77 KZ1000. Sad that the fastest production bike of its day is no faster than a ninja 650R today.

                          Still, 90 hp isn't anything to laugh at on two wheels. It does weigh as much as the average American that can't lift themselves off of a couch.

                            To bad I really like their bikes. I actually still am in the market for one just to have.
