The Motorcycle Discussion Thread
I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.
Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16) Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you: Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel) C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too. http://www.jakewilson.com - Free 3 day shipping on orders over $75 Last edited by Dayze; 10-29-2016 at 09:02 PM.. |

also maybe look to see how many 14s they have. From my understanding (just what I've heard) is they get two bikes of the following year model for every current model they sell. Worth only had probably 3-5 '14s (I believe) and had probably 8-10 '13s sitting stagnant. |

Also had both Rawhide and Worth say the 72's are the toughest to sell because it's for such a particular market/customer. Also had the guy at Worth, when negotiating my deal, said the cost to him was like $9900; or thereabouts. |

I 'think' the baser price/MSRP on the '13 is like $10.6. + $700 for the candy paint - which is right at 11.4 ish. So no ****ing idea where the hell he's getting the 12.4 number; other than trying to make a boat load on it.

Omaha, you'll be glad to know I got the 72 because it has a skinny tank.

Super nimble. great power to weight ratio. Have to baby it a bit the first 500 miles or so, but I rode a used on two weeks ago, and it'll get up and move for sure. 5th gear isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be on the highway at 70mph. I'm about 6'1", and about 240 and it hauls my fat as around with no problem. If you like the looks of them (which is what initially drew me to them), take one for a spin. Mucho Fun. And....I've gotten tons of looks on it. Not that it's the reason I bought it, but it's cool to see someone appreciate it. A few compliments at gas stations (which is frequent lol). My gas light came on at about 60 miles. I filled up and put about 1.4 gallons in it - so definitely have a decent window to fill up once it comes on. |
