Wanted to get my Avon Trike Tire mounted the end of the month, as well as get a front and rear Brake Fluid Flush by the one local dealer. Called for an appointment this afternoon and was told by the Service Manager; can do on on the Brake Flushing, but no can do mounting of the Avon Tire. She said they only service tires bought through the Harley Supply Network. That's a real game changer for me!

I'd find another dealer or an independent to service my ride if I were you...Originally Posted by ShapeShifter

Next nearest dealer is about 62 mi south in Louisiana....will check anyway. Will have to check around in local area to see if anyone knows of any reliable and trustworthy independents. I'll finally get to know what's available in my area.

In my neck of the world ... the nearest dealer outside my local is 18o miles in Durango .. I take my bike to Fredrick, Co. which is like 260 miles for anything big ... little stuff like programing the passing lights I'll let my local dealer do ... warrantee work on the 15 they did ... out side of that I will go to Frederick, Co.
It's your bike ... you can let them dictate to you ... or you can fight back with your wallet.
Good luck in your search. I got lucky and have a good independent about a mile and half out the road from me. He is the one who put me onto Avon tires back when I was still on two wheels. Been dealing with him and running them ever since.

This situation is the goose that gets me off my duff to find out what's nearby and worthwhile besides dealerships.

Local bike company...
I went through this exact same thing about a year or so ago. I had ordered an Avon Trike Tire and took it to the local HD dealer to get it mounted. They told me the same thing your dealer told you. I decided to try a local shop that sells several Japan bikes, 4 wheelers etc.Hey guys......thanks for the inspiration!

I took my front tire and wheel off the Trike, loaded it up and carried it to their shop. This was on a Chrome rim, and after they assured me they do chrome rims all the time, I agreed and let them do it and install my own Dyna Beads at the same time.
With me bringing the tire and rim to them, they were very reasonable. If I recall correctly they charged me 20-25 bucks and there was no damage to the Chrome wheel.

Huge Thanks!! More options to consider.I'm beginning to get that big

There is a Cycle Gear store in Little Rock. They will change the tire for you.Wanted to get my Avon Trike Tire mounted the end of the month, as well as get a front and rear Brake Fluid Flush by the one local dealer.

Thanks! They are a 130+ mile drive/ride to the east. My son lives in suburban LR and a visit is always nice....think I better check for sources closer to my rural area first. I might also find someone that can do the brake flushing instead of the dealer. Could save on both accounts.
