I must be on a spending streak today, after ordering new plastics for the ZX I went and picked up a pair of BT45s for the EX500. I'd been talking to my girlfriend and she is serious about learning to ride, plus I decided I'd miss the V-twin if I sold it, so it's staying for the forseeable future. The front was an Avon Supervenom and was pretty well toast...The rear was a Chen Shin Barracuda which was in decent condition, but after reading all the negative things people on the 'net had to say about Chen Shin, I figured it was worth the extra few bucks to grab a matched set, and the BT45s get good reviews for the EX. Something about having Kim riding the bike makes me more concerned with it's condition than when I was riding it...Must be either I have high regard for her safety, or low regard for mine
Ordered them online, so I'll need to find a place around here that doesn't mind mounting tires not bought there. Any suggestions? Also, what am I looking at as far as cost for mounting the front and rear? I don't have swingarm stands so I'm going to need to bring the whole bike in rather than pulling off the tires.
Thanks,
Darrell
