Tire changes in nova? - Ducati Monster Forums: Ducati Monster Motorcycle Forum

I have a new set of tires and need a place who'll put them on and balance without over charging, can anyone suggest a good place? Pref on the Nova side.

thanks

Just paid $100 at Ram Cycles in Gaithersburg to put front and rear on.... Not sure what the going rate is.

Myers Cycle is within 1000yds of me but he wont breathe on a Ducati for some reason.....even if I brought him the tires/wheels. Told me to take it to Battley....I wont set foot in Battleys.

Good Luck!

funny...he told me he didn't care what bike it was...for liability reasons, if he doesn't sell the tire to you, he ain't installing it....I guess that is subjective to the clientele though where he can change it at will!

If you're closer to Sterling call Rick at RnR Cycles and tell him Stefan Still sent you.

He'll do ya right.

Cross Roads Cycles for this kind of stuff is great and affordable. They do a first come, first served on Saturday mornings too. Get there when they open at 9:00 am and you'll be out before you know it.
