I have a VTX1300S, spoke wheels, and I have a very slow leak after removing a small sheet metal screw from the tire. How hard is it to replace the tube on the rear. I am talking about the actual tube replacement and not wheel removal. I do no want to scratch the chrome on the wheel. Any suggestions? :D

I am having new tires put on my scoot today or tomorrow. I removed the rims last night, and will be bringing the new tires, tubes, and rims to Hitchin Post in So St. Paul to be installed....$35 a tire. I would guess it would be about the same to have just a tube installed. I've only installed new tubes and tires on dirt bikes, so I will gladly pay the $35 to have someone else do it. They also true and balance the rim for that

hey bob,
my bike is at hitching post now, could not adjust out a stall after the carb work. I am to pick it up thursday AM if all goes well. I can pick up your tires if they are still there if you would like. You know how to contact me

Why didn't you call me about the stall? We could've adjusted it a bit. Thanks for the offer on the tires, but I picked them up last night and put them back on the bike. *****ers charged me $15 to tighten some spokes. WTF!?! and $24 for exhaust gaskets? If any one needs Moly paste, let me know....I picked up a tube of that also
