Need tires on Long Island, NY (Huntington)
« on: June 19, 2009, 11:02:47 AM »
Just about time to get the old girl some new tires.  There are 2 Honda shops (sorta) near me,  Hicksville and Bay Shore.  Would either of them be where I should go, or are there other recommendations.  Thanks.

Hi,
 Try Bayshore. See Anthony at the parts counter. Tell him Ken from Orient Express Racing sent you. If he needs help, have him call me at work.

Thanks - is putting tires on these old bikes any different from them installing on new ones?   Does the chain present a problem?  Probably should slap a new one on anyway.

some shops won't work on older bikes. PM or e mail if you have a problem.
