I paid about £250 for bt023 to be fitted last year , so sounds like a good deal to me .

Not sure on fitting charge, going to phone tomorrow....was thinking of taking loose wheels up on saturday morning with a wad of cash....I like a nice haggle   ;).......free delivery on pairs, local garage charges £15 each to fit.

So was that the loose wheels price? Mine was on the bike.

Local garage charges £15 on or off the bike, bit strange I know....I like to refit the wheels myself and get the alignment and chain tension just right, also a good time for a bit of a clean up.......just looked on the bay and £200 looks good...can get cheaper with another brand but I got a good mileage out of the last set of PR2's

Then I'd probably let them fit em on the bike, then check chain adjustment myself afterwards  ;)

So do I !
As I'm on the opposite side of London I normally go here http://www.motorcycletyresuk.com/index2.htm (http://www.motorcycletyresuk.com/index2.htm) They are quoting £208 + £50 fitting the pair, although they do seem to be offering £30 off at the moment.
If you like PR2s you'll like PR3s even more. About an extra £30 for a pair

Fwr r really good. I used to go there and get my tyres done and nip into the music shop on the corner for strings but music shop now shut 2 years. They r quick turnin round the bikes and do good prices for cash. But.... Red... If u want a better price call me and I can get u a good deal with essential rubber in e3 where christo went for his road pilot 3. Choose ur tyre and find urself the best price u can get fitted/balanced and I'll see if i can beat it...and that goes for all foccers...give em some business and they will try to help.... Give em a google...
