I'd recommend Lee motorcycles in Cork. I don't take my bike anywhere else.

What he said! ^^^ Lee's have a pretty decent reputation.

I use Southern Racing just off the entrance to Midleton. I'd have nothing but good things to say about them.

Few questions, but I don't see a point in starting my own thread.

Where's the best place in Cork to get a new Back tyre and get it fitted?

How much (roughly) would it cost?

I know technically I probably should do both, but there is no visible wear on the front tyre it looks brand new, would it be safe enough to get just the back done?

I think that's all I need to know, hopefully someone will have an answer for me Thanks.

Of course you can get just the one replaced. I fly through back tyres haha,well not as much anymore because Im poor but yeah :)
The price really depends on what tyre you go for really.

Wonda-Boy

Yeah totally fine getting just the one tyre done, just keep an eye on the front that its not too bad as you will get away with it in the summer with the dry roads but dont take the chance in the winter with a tyre especially the front.

Also try and get the best tyre for the wet seen as its the season we are in....

Ah yeah, the front is in great condition, the back probably had a lot of straight miles under it before I got it.

I got quoted €130 for the back by Lee Honda putting on a Metzeler Tourance. Is that a good price. Having looked up the tyre it's apparently a good all rounder so if the price is par for the course I'll be doing that

Sorry for all the questions, first bike but this doesn't fit in learner.

two wheels good

I've been happy with many pairs of Tourance
There are two types "regular" and EXP. EXP supposedly grippier but don't last as long and a little more EXPensive. I've not tried them.

I'd also recommend replacing the valve I like to have the rear wheel balanced too but it seems Cork 'bike shops think this eccentric carry-on.

BikerTech

In relation to the origianl question of getting a bike (of any type) serviced in Cork City, I would recommend GMC Motorcycles on the Tramore Road ( Near Stefain Naofa College).
I have bought 2 bikes from here and not one bit of trouble and had all my servicing done there in the last 2 years.( very reasonable )
Proper bike shop,a place where ya can pop out for a chat to talk bikes or discuss issues relating too.
Not like some other shops where if your not buying something,you dont really have much business there.
I have nothing but good things to say about them.
