They aint open but i gotta know now. Does EDR sell motorcycle tires as well as mount them? How are thier turn around times? Anyone know?  I got a ride to go on tomarrow after work, but just bought a new bike and the front tire is really bad i gotta get a new one on before i take off.  EDR is a block or two away from my work.

They do sell and mount tires, but their stock is limited.

Got a 2003 Buell XB9S Lightning with 6K miles on it. That bike kicks ass. Nice corbin seat, really cool pipes he had them made at flomaster specific for his buell. Color is black and silver, 984cc bike, fuel injected.  Not like the monster at all.  Just a whole different animal. Kind of like riding a dirt bike that handles real well in the corners. Very comfortable with a shitload of low end torque you gotta be carefull in the beginning til you get the hang of them. Clutch engages real early, i wasnt use to that ducs are the opposite or should like most sportbikes.  It does shake at idle, but i like it.  Ill post a pic soon.

EDR does sell tires.  They had my rossos in stock and have a policy to drop whatever they are doing to install tires when you buy them. 

I use to think Buells were ugly but as time goes by they are growing on me.  I still can't get over the huge oil reservoir and gas tank. 
I like my bikes like i like my women, naked!!!

What exactly did they say?

Oh, and did you try your local Buell dealer? Or Cycle Gear?

Did you try Destination Harley?  They won't work on my bike but they might yours  ;)

Sorry man, that sucks.

They are putting new tires on Cierra's Ninja tomorrow, but I told them if they dont, I will be giving them a full on shirtless frontal man hug.

Sounds interesting. Lets see if they respond on PNWriders.

Or, better yet, you could email them or call and ask to speak to Eric and see what they say.

Salty - If you are discontent you have every right to express yourself on this forum.  Part of why we are here is to share experiences, knowledge, advice etc.

I too experienced EDR telling me they wouldn't work on my bike - at the time they wouldn't "touch" a Ducati.  I think now that they race an 848 that may be different.

I enjoyed my experiences with them and their work when they did my PCIII custom mapping.  I did have issues with a lack of . . . timeliness in their responses and actions to help me with the starting problems right after getting the map.  I don't think I should have to chase them down to get them to respond to a customer concern.

They did good work, I felt they were genuinely good people to do business with, I was just frustrated with their slow response times - which in my book equates to poor customer service.

Anyway - I just saw that MotoSport.com is having a BIG sale and they have some great deals on tires!  If you haven't bought them yet you might want to check the sale out.

Good luck.

Here is my experience....

EDR on the phone or via email =  [puke]  [bang]   >:(

EDR in person =  [thumbsup]   [moto]   ;D

There is no substitute to just showing up with the bike. Sucks, but it is true.
