im years behind this post, but im new and have a 550. think im gonna go with the bridgestones and gonna try and install the tires myself. found a rear, rim strip, and tube for $85 on motorcycle superstore.com. any tips on doing this? i never have done it before. special tools i may need?
gonna go with the powder coated rims too, was gonna do em myself but i think im gonna go the prof. route, got a quote for $130 for both rims.
if thats the tires mounting and balancing.... go for it thats a steal and well worth it.. i paid 113 for just tires... look over this thread theres plenty about the 550 and tires about half way down.. called 550 tips....
