How much is that in real money?

I stole that line, by the way. Someone said it once and I thought it was funny.

204 dollars in US money soon to be 300, the way your dollar is dropping makes me look forward to buying a bike in the States  :nana:  that's for making fun of my country's money.

Yeah, $204 is a great price for both front and rear installed and balanced.  Over here you're looking at much closer to $300 US.

A shop here quoted me $300 for both tires mounted..... I started searching the net, as the shop will mount tires for $18 each.  Thats Bellevue prices for you though :roll:

Is it okay to put a BT45 on the rear and leave the factory front on or do they both need to be replaced at the same time?

Man you guys are all getting ripped off. I'm getting Pilot Activs installed balanced and all for $160 TOTAL.

Hell I guess working at a motorcycle parts store helps with a discount and having them mounted and balanced for free :nana:

And as far as the $300 installed. That is completely nuts. $250 MAX.
