Um, IMO no. Not on any of the bikes that I have ever seen. What make/model are you talking about?

How about a Honda Gold Wing. They actually still make them and they are BIG. Many of the Touring Bikes..... used for Touring , which is actually Traveling across country..even overnight... for multiple nights..

We actually used to do that rather than just riding down to the boulevard and Profiling. ie....How do I look..?

The people that used to ride them (Me) are getting too old to hold up an 800 pound motorcycle at a traffic light. Tip it over and it takes three strong men to pick it up.

My longest Cross Country to the West Coast and beyond covered 11,500 miles in 5 weeks back in 1985. THIS..IS the way to see AMERICA

Peter is excellent to deal with which is more than many will say about HK.
His rates are very reasonable. He put a new back tire on my KLR650 this spring did the inspection and it was just over $200.00 and that included the $140 for the tire. Do the math.
Heck I'll bet I could replace a tire myself using what I have for tools in the garage and it would take me less than 1.5 hours.

Go For It:

Ding an aluminum wheel with your home tools and lack of knowledge, and pay the price soon after.
