need tire change assisatance in denver area

[HelzBelz]

Hey guys- just finished a SS1000 , right on time @ 4 pm Saturday. My front tire though is pretty shredded. I was able to pickup a front tire from a shop along my route but they refused to help me install as it was too close to closing (never mind that I had called them first and confirmed they would help...)

Any one know anyone anyone in the Denver vicinity that can change a front tire for me for a fee?

Thanks- Kevin

Are you a member of the FJR Assistance List? That might come in handy.

I am a member I used the list and surprisingly only one guy in Colorado and no tire changer..

So if any one knows anyone with access off the forum,,that would be great.

I'm here in Denver but use Colorado Powersports for tire mounting. Unfortunately they're closed Sun/Mon. I was going to suggest posting to Colorado Sport Bike but see you've covered that too.

Wish I could help.. But by the time I get there you will be fixed and gone!

Thanks guys. I did post to cosportbike forum and did get a reply from a greatly helpful guy in Aurora. He has a professional tire changing machine from Ford, and an 09fjr just like me (coincidentally)

Was back on the road at 930 am and am now sitting in Sheridan Wyoming 270 miles from home)

What a great (and stressful) trip. But my first documented Saddle Sore 1000 is done.

Glad it ended well!

Congrats on the SS1K...with the first one under your belt, the country just got a whole lot smaller!
