Estimate £50 including fitting, at a big local firm. Bike shops charge a lot more.

Micheldever tyres nr Andover carged me £52 inc fitting and balancing. Honda of Salisbury quoted £115 for the same work, and the same tyre.

Bike dealers sometimes give a discount for fitting the tyre if you buy the tyre from them as done by Victor Devine (Honda dealer), Glasgow.

A motorcycle breaker in Glasgow charges only £25 for fitting it if you bring the tyre with you, which is the standard 1 hour charge which covers any other kind of work being carried out on a bike excluding parts.

I'd get into the Yellow Pages and get those fingers walking. Phone round local bike garages and ask them how much they'd want. If they don't do them (and perhaps even if they do) they'll be quite happy to recommend someone who does.

Around my way that would be about £65 fitted to the bike.
