Member Contributer SCguy Posted August 30, 2015 Member Contributer Posted August 30, 2015 My rear tire is on its last legs, I need a new one soon. It'll get me to the Glacier area easy, but I don't want to push it. I'm looking for someone I can ship a tire to, and if you have mounting equipment, that's a plus. I'm in Columbus, Montana now. The Honda dealer wants over $450 for just the rear tire. Thanks in advance. Quote

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted August 30, 2015 Member Contributer Posted August 30, 2015 There are Cycle Gear stores in Spokane and Boise if you're headed either direction. They list a PR4 rear for less than 1/2 that price. Quote
Member Contributer SCguy Posted August 30, 2015 Author Member Contributer Posted August 30, 2015 I had been going to head north to Banff, but now I'm not sure. I can get a PR4s with one day shipping for $190 from Amazon, I just need to find a place to ship it to. I'm thinking Kalispell is my best option, but I'm staying in Missoula tonight and I'll check around town first thing tomorrow morning Quote
Member Contributer YellowFuzz Posted August 30, 2015 Member Contributer Posted August 30, 2015 have you tried the honda dealership in missoula, mt? http://www.fivevalleyhondayamaha.com/ Quote
Member Contributer SCguy Posted August 30, 2015 Author Member Contributer Posted August 30, 2015 I haven't. I hope to tomorrow as everybody is closed today. Quote
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted August 30, 2015 Member Contributer Posted August 30, 2015 Missoula's a much larger town than Kalispell, so I would think you're already where chances are best. I don't recall any posts in recent memory from anyone in that area. Quote
Member Contributer SCguy Posted August 31, 2015 Author Member Contributer Posted August 31, 2015 Missoula was a bust, but I found a Yamaha dealer in Hamilton, MT that installed a new PR4 rear for $246 out the door. $208 for the tire, $35 mount and balance plus tax. They also fixed some rivets that broke on my Yoshi pipe for free. Big Shout out to Al's Yamaha. Quote
Baileyrock Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Congrats, glad your safely riding again! Kalispell lake is a nice area to hang out at and Glacier National is fricken awesome! BR Quote

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted September 1, 2015 Member Contributer Posted September 1, 2015 Nice! Good to know there are stand up dealers out there. Quote
VFR4Lee Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Little steep on the tire, but shipping I guess. Not bad at all on the labor, cool deal. Quote
Member Contributer wrestler Posted October 13, 2015 Member Contributer Posted October 13, 2015 My faith in the human race is renewed each time I log onto VFRD. The ride reports and incident resolutions are always good news. Good luck, SCguy. Quote
