Indeed glad to hear you're all right. Sounds like you guys have a

that's the important thing.

I've seen one in absolute showroom condition on the Houston CL for over 3
mos. Dude was asking $3900 at first, came down to $3500 but it still never
sold. $2000 is about the sweet spot for these bikes. $2500-$2800 for a
really nice one. Chalk up an extra few hundred for being on the islands
yeah?
Hello All,
I was just given a price of $300 to put a set of new tires on
my NH. Please please tell me that this is one guy at a private bike
shop that doesn't get a good deal on tires!

That sounds about right, depending on the brand of tires. Does this include
remounting the wheels on your bike or do you already have them off?

Like Kyle said, depends on the brand. I was quoted ~$200 to put a set of
Contis on mine, tires were on sale if you bought a set.
Labor was also discounted, and discounted again since I did the dismounting
and just gave them the wheels and old tires.

Well I'll be...
Last time I put rubber on this thing was probably 8 years
ago... about 10,000 miles ago - and I remember getting a rear tire for
$40 Some cheap Korean made tire.
Maybe I just have to re-orient my financial perception!
I'll check another couple places - btw
The tire I ended up going with was much cheaper than the Contis. I
picked up a Kenda Challenger, as it has a fairly good lifetime rating
for a rear tire, decent handling and is meant for touring. Since I
daily my bike, I figured a long lived tire was more important than a
super-sticky tire, and
Joey I've got a set of Bridgestone Spitfires on my 450. I bought the

back of the truck over to a small local bike mechanic. I can't

I agree with kyle it looks like the same thing that is a part of the

diaphragm. You might be able to make one out of sheet rubber.

I wonder, if it's the same assembly, just separate from the petcock...
could a petcock rebuild kit possibly supply the correct diaphragm?

Avon Roadriders - $214 for the set from Bike Bandit. $70 to mount/
balance, with me removing the wheels and taking them to the stealer.
So, it may not seem so, but if your guy's price includes labor for
removing the wheels, mounting/balancing tires and reinstalling the
wheels, it's a deal.

That's been my take on the Kenda too. I have a Metzler front tire, it
was pretty much brand new when I bought the bike, so I figured why
waste money replacing a perfectly good tire?

When you say the Metzler front tire was pretty much brand new are
you going just by the amount of tread wear? The actual age of the tire
is just as important. It can be read off the sidewall of the tires.

sale price, however they
