I might be purchasing a used motorcycle and it will need new tires installed. Your recommendations would be very helpful. Fair price for excellent work and customer service is what I'm after.

I'm near the Strongsville area and wouldn't mind an hour ride to have it done right the first time.

Bike is a 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic.

Thanks!

Shotar is taking his to the Yamaha shop in Geneva (about an hour from you) tomorrow and I was surprised they were 60-70 bucks cheaper, installed, than a small shop near me.

I see a lot of bikes at Z Performance on Woodman Drive. Don't know anything about them, though.

They also did it while I waited and gave the bike an overall safety check at no additional cost.

I would say Rick Roush Motorsports in Medina but they can be higher priced than some.

Also for a more distant ride and normally cheaper you can ride down or just take the wheels to Iron Pony in Westerville. They are worth a visit just to look around at the large selection of things they have.

Depending on what kind of bike, especially a sport bike, make sure they balance the wheel assemblies...it does make a difference.

I use Iron Pony since I live pretty close.

Honda of Marysville does great work, and is cheaper than Iron Pony if you're in Central Ohio.




I do my own now, but I've had them done at both places.







I run dynabeads in mine, put the dot on the stem location and forget about balancing...always smooth as glass and smooth tire wear. Plus, no ugly wheel weights.
