My Coworker bought Dunlap Roadsmart tires for his Harley online, and brought the rims to Lake Erie Cycle. They charged him $25 each to mount and balance them. He recommended this shop to me that same day.

I bought the same Dunlop Roadsmart tires from Jake Wilson, and brought the rims from my Yamaha R1 to Lake Erie Cycle. When I picked up my rims, they charged me $110. I was shocked. That is the most money I've ever paid to mount two rims. When I asked about full synthetic oil, they offered me a brand that was $17 a quart. Do realize you can buy a quart of Castrol full synthetic motorcycle oil for $9 at other stores.

Ask first. Never assume. Get a price up front before doing anything. This shop seems to look down on crotch rockets.
