If you can bring in the wheel off the bike it will be much cheaper. Anywhere from 10-40 bucks.

Wow, that all seems really low. I think my local shop charges 20 or 30 for the moutning, but another 20 or 30 for the balancing.

Holy horse ****; do you get to have your way with the receptionist while you wait? buymoto.com in San Diego; it costs $15 for mount and balance per tire if you bring the wheel in, $30-35 per tire if they have to pull the wheels off.

If I had to pay $40-60 per tire (off the bike) I would be getting one of those tire changers and a balancer for sure!

I paid $65 with the wheel off the bike. The next time I changed the front and rear myself and took them to the dealer to have them balanced thinking that couldn't cost too much. They charged me $54 to balance the two of them. Now I change and balance them myself.

Shop near me told me $70 each on the bike not buying tires from them. But I got both front and rear Qualifiers for $250 shipped and my buddy that works at a different shop mounted and balanced them for free. I think I got a pretty good deal.

Btw- The Qualifiers, I LOVE them.
