A buddy of mine had walk-in service at Coleman's WB when he got tires mounted.  But that was just on the rims, he didn't bring in the bike.  Maybe call these guys...

MFI will almost always do a walk-in if you bring just the wheel.  If you'll be brining the whole bike in call ahead to make sure they have time/space or schedule an appointment.

Let us know how how that works for you and how much they charge you.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

MFI is $25/wheel I think if you bring in just the wheels.  Probably a little extra if you ride the bike there.

I had a front tire installed and balanced at Coleman's -- it cost me nearly $60.   

I needed it bad or I would have turned around and walked out.  Absurdly expensive.  They lost all of my business.

$25/wheel at MFI?  I am giving them a call... that's definitely within the realm of sanity.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

yea i know its high but as for convenience they won .. i dont think i will go there for service tho.. i want to have this bike get a once over since i just got it last Friday and it seems that the guy prior did a few things im not to sure about. He removed all indicators and horn not sure why plus i now notice that the odometer is off he says its because of the ecu being flashed ...he told me it has 5100 miles the odometer now says 280?

i mount and balance my own tires in my garage, takes about 20-30 minutes depending on the condition of the old tire. all it takes is 3 tire irons and an air compressor. I refuse to pay all that money for such a simple job. Also having multiple motorcycles helps in justifying learning how.

I used to do all mine too, I've gotten lazy lately though (and at the moment I'm without a functioning air compressor 'cause I've gotta wire my new garage for 220v).

Seems like it's the same concept of changing a bicycle tire. I live in a condo tho, so no garage no air compressors.

Use a bike pump.  It will just take longer.
