Default Will these tires fit on my 02 F4i rims?

I'm about to purchase them, but want to make sure they're the correct size. Please let me know, thanks!

The specs are: 120/70ZR17 Front Tire and a 180/55ZR17 Rear Tire

Yeah, I just ordered them. Should be in on Thursday or Friday. Came out to $224 shipped...the bad part is that I have to get a dealership to install them and that costs...$150 for both tires...

oh virtual mang...that's way too much! remove the tires yourself and take them in to have them mount and balance. no way m/b is 150! should be like 30 each max!

man with like 80 bux you can go to harbor frieght and buy yourself a tirechanger with the motorcycle attachment. totally worht it. . .ive used it once and that was worth the price all together.. i will use it again the next time i burn up a set of tires which seems to be around 6-7 months. it was weird though since my stock tires it seemed that the front tire wore faster than the front since the front was at like 3/32nds of tread (almost at the wear bar) and the rears probably still have 4-5/32nds in the center. these were the oem dunlops at around 5k when i changed them. the pilot powers are totally worth it

All the shops around here wont mount a used front tire for you, They will balance it but wont put the tire on. They do it for safety reasons.
They dont want to put a tire on the front that shouldnt be ridden on.

I dont know if its the same where you guys are but thats what happens here.

Since traitorhound mentioned it....

My friend is actually selling his tire changer...it's brand new. Bought it off ebay for like $140 SHIPPED or something.
He doesn't have the room in his garage for it he found out after he put it together...LOL

He only wants like $75 for it

yep. my local dealer charges $29 per tire installed, on or off the bike. but if you take the bike in and have them do the whole deal, they charge 2 hours of labor at $45 per hour. do the math, that's where the $150 comes from.
