Picked up mine for 205$, including shipping in that costLOL wow, I got a screw in mine a couple weeks ago and got another Metzler. was 230.00
That's a great deal. I've bought stuff from those guys before....almost always the lowest price and GREAT customer service.
They ship faster than anybody I ever dealt with too.That's a great deal. I've bought stuff from those guys before....almost always the lowest price and GREAT customer service.
Plugging is only recommend for a short term fix.I personally wouldn't trust my life with a plug in a tire of a two wheeled vehicle long term.Also no shop in town will plug a bike tire because its a major safety issue.I am not very smart when it come to holes, tires that is, can't you plug these? Or plug cut flush inside and put a patch for safty? Or would that effect Dyna Beads? Or what!
If it's a puncture and NOT a tear or a cut, you can safely patch it on the inside of the tire. Clean the area thoroughly, rough it up, then patch it with a Cold-Self-Vulcanizing patch. It'll last the life of the tire.I am not very smart when it come to holes, tires that is, can't you plug these? Or plug cut flush inside and put a patch for safty? Or would that effect Dyna Beads?

DITTO. have done this to many bikes over the years including my fury now. never had any problems as long as its done right. save the $$ and fix it.
Not surprising; most shops would rather sell you a new tire. There's more profit in a new-tire sale than a patch job. Did you save the old tire?
Yeah they want your $$. I have alwaays done mine myself. Still know people in the tire buisness and I did as a kid. Trust me it's safe
No respectable/responsible dealer will plug a tire due to the very real danger of your estate sueing him out of business, the bike manufacturer does not recommend it, the tire manufacturer doesn't recommend it, if the tire he plugs goes bad, HE alone will be left. His insurance carrier will drop him like a hot potato,He can loose a multimillion dollar franchise, and the livelyhood of his employees and his family. I would imagine a level 5 Honda dealer probably doesn't get 3 request a year to plug a tire, that is not going to make or break him "tire selling wise", . It is you bike and your life (and maybe your SO) if you want to risk them on a $2 tire plug, that's your decision.
Yea, had the brother-in-law patch up my truck tire with that stuff, crap works real good actually...! You should give it a try if the tire isn't too bad...
or sell as is to somebody for half price or lower... make some money back...
Dunlop says certain punctures can be repaired, however, the repaired tire will have a reduced speed rating.Caught a nail in my damn back tire.Best price I could find on a Dunlop Elite 3 200 50/18 was 164.99 with free shipping at motorcyclesuperstore.com in case any one else out their needs one.Should have it tomorrow and will be back on the road Wednesday afternoon!!
been there, done that. Nails and screws ALWAYS find the new tire!
