So I went over to my local shop with my son, so I could get some supplies and he could look at bikes. So I pick up some chain lube and cable lube, and the kid in the parts dept offers me this tool that helps you lube cables. I didn't fall for it, as it seems just as easy to spray it into the throttle cable tubes (and it was). So then I ask him about their participation as a preferred installer for motorcycle-superstore.com. And he wasn't sure. So he went into the back to ask someone, and nope. They've never heard of this. So I ask him how much for the Pirelli Sport Demons are installed, since he said they could get those tires, even tho they don't regularly stock them. All told with a half hour of labor, he quoted me around $185.

So after all this, I'm seriously doubting this place or having anything done on my bike there. That's crazy, if I can get the tire delivered to them for $114. I may just change the rubber myself...
