Tires, top end rebuild, fork rebuild, 25mm rear axle conversion, 50 watt stator, lights package and probably some other crap that I am drinking so I forget how much it all cost.

Do you have a trick for street bike tires? I have tried several times to get those on with a 0% success rate and I always end up going into a dealer to get them mounted and balanced. Dirt bike, no problem, but it seems like street bike tires are like an inch too small in diameter to mount myself.

I got a cheap bead breaker from china freight to break the seal, then I just mix dish soap with water, spray the bead and use some cheap rim protectors I've picked up at bike shops, and two tire iron's, for mount and dismount, I have changed countless sets for me and my friends over the years. for balancing I use a 1/4 inch ratchet extension a set of jack stands, and some sticky weights.

I went the expensive route, mostly because my bike needed work anyway. I am in the process of replacing the rear suspension with parts from an 03. I chose to do this because the swingarm is lighter and stronger than my 01, and the 03 uses 240 mm rear brakes and a 25mm axle. All in all I would say it cost me about $1500 because I bought used parts where I could, but if you do not need the axle swap, top end rebuild, fork rebuild or new plastics, I would say about 900 - 1000 for wheels, tires, and electrical if you shop around.

Man all this talk of tires is reminding me I need 2 new tires on my car, 4 for my bronco and possibly 2 for my bike :(
