Millers cycle parts (Daytona Beach)for rear tire 197.00 plus $60.00 to put on.
$207 after bike week....03-06-08
 
The annual cost of a rear tire has persuaded me to go over to the dardside. It's just a matter of a couple months and I will be there. I'm approaching both front and rear brake pad replacement also. Anyone with a good cost source on pads will be appreciated.

Man you guys are lucky in the states.
I just paid the rediculous figure of $574 fitted. $449 for the tyre the rest was fitting charges.
I guess in Alice Springs the bike shops have a captive audience

I have ordered a stand so i will be able to remove the wheels myself for the next tyre replacement.

You live and learn. Never again will I pay that much for 1 tyre.

One thing to remember about brake pads and that is they need to be made of a friction material that's compatible with the rotors, in other words soft. If you use the EBC HH pads, the pads will last a long time but you rotor won't and I'd much rather replace pads than rotors. The pads are a lot cheaper. If ound out about the HH scenario with my sidecar. That rotor is 180 bucks.
 
I picked up my brake pads at the dealer, and the HH pads are what he recomended as stock replacement. 11,000 miles and they were wore down to the center groove
