I'm posting this to test the waters and see what kind of responses I get.
I'm thinking about buying a Tire changing machine, I'm wondering if the crew in the Houston/Katy/Spring area if they would consider using me to replace the tires/mount and balance for your motorcycle.
you buy your tires and bring them to me (if you buy on line you can have them ship direct to me and we can install them at my garage). The cheapest price I have heard of is $20.00 per tire from motorcycles unlimited. That's you bringing the wheels/tires and they mount and balance them.
I would do $30 for both tires mounted and balance, if I have to take the wheels off a VTX $50.00 would get you done.
any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
just to make it clear I'm not selling tires, I'm selling the installation and balance of the tires.

Car tires??
-
im not sure if the balancer I have will balance a car tire on a motorcycle wheel.... If you are asking about balancing tires on your car, I won't have the means to balance the tire once is mounted
-
sure, I would consider using you.
-
Yeah. I Would.
-
this is the machine I'm considering...

I have two wheels that I'm powdering and need to remove one tire of the rear to place on the newly powdered wheel and a new tire for the front wheel. I'll be powdering them shortly in the next couple weeks.
-
Paul, I have a sand blaster and powder coating equipment as well. if you need anything sandblasted let me know. I hope to buy something soon!!!
-
Do you have an oven big enough to powder moto wheels? I've powdered some of my own stuff but my oven isn't big enough.
-
I should be able to do 18" wheels I will measure the oven I have and let you know, the guy I got it from said he did 18" car wheels

What...you going to 30"?
nah....Just 19". If I ever considered going larger my max would probably be 23". But 30 is kind of crazy.

Paul, I texted you two pics

Did you get the equipment? Ordered new front tire and will need it mounted, I would rather pay you to mount it.
Give a shout.

If I lived closer I would use you Gabe.
Have a friend just diwn the road that has a motorcycle shop that has that same tire
changer. Does mine for $20. I would buy one if he wasn't so close.
