Cheers, Ian.

In acton, behind the morrisons. there is a place called DR Motorcycle Services... the place looks shit, and the owner Rob would take you for every penny if he thinks you are a sucker.

But the hourly rate is £35/ph for new customers and for tyres i would imagine his prices would be on the ball, althought i got my tyres from a mailorder place and had them fit them... Its not the most reputable of places but if no one else replies with anything better... the guy who will most likely do the tyres for you knows his stuff... very nice yugoslav guy called Zoran, he has saved me copious amounts of money due to his sixth sense for knowing what is wrong... If your interested ring 07831801792 and ask for Rob. If he asks say Don gave you the number (maybe he will give me a discount next time ... lol)

Failing that, on the harrow road (not too far from Acton) is the Motorcycle Service Centre, which is a more professional operation:
www.motorcycleservicecentre.co.uk

Hope that helps.

thedonUK, your post fell to late, but many thanks for the advice anyway. Cheers Thumbs Up

I rang around and got no response or extortionate prices, especially Chiswick Honda, £147 for a BT020 fitted! dream on Thumbs Down

I ended up riding back home and paying £114 ride in ride out.

Thanks to Two wheel tyre center at Great Barr Thumbs Up
