Do you have a local sportbike shop? They tend to be cheaper on labor and actually give a crap about your business.

+1 to non-dealer stores.

i bought a Metzeler M1 off denniskirk.com (who price matched from ronayers.com) for $130 shipped to my door.

i called the local shop (non dealer) about putting it on. when i got there, they asked if i should replace the front too. i said i probably would soon, and that i was gonna order one from the internet.

they said "oh, we have one in stock." and i told them "sorry, but i can get them real cheap on the internet. so unless you price match...." and they interupted me with "we do."

i got set up with the front m1 for $95 instead of $135 which they normally woulda charged. plus $60 to mount and balance both tires. cost me $300 per set installed. not too bad if you ask me.....

and yes you are getting ripped off paying 180.....
