Default is this a good price?

im taking it to a good shop that ive heard of and to change spark plugs, a new front tire and putting it on, and getting the carbs synced for 240 bucks is that a good deal?

You could do all this work easily yourself for free, would save you $240, or you could spend the $240 on tools to do the work, either way you're going to save money in the long run.

the tire would be a lil tricky with a couple of prybars...but its not impossible. Then you gotta balance them...i would still take the tire somewhere. The carbs, buy the tool needed and do it yourself. Its great experience learning how to, and working on things yourself.

yes great price, assuming tire and plugs are included in quote.

bring it to my house, i'll do it for free...except the tire, just buy it somewhere, get it mounted at tahoe's source for $15...only if you're local to teh OC.
