I just wanted to relate this in case it helps folks in the Atlanta Area. I recently ordered some Metzeler 888's from Atlanta Motor World in Roswell. At the time of order I spoke to their service department to find out the price for install. I was told $100 for a C50. Parts dept said the tires would be in on the next Tuesday. I called in Wednesday (no tires) and then Thursday (one tire's here, can't see the other - we'll give you a call). Called the following week and they say they have the tires and had left me a message (they hadn't).
I rode in when they opened on a Saturday for the install and the guy looked at the bike and started up with "Oh. I see. We're gonna have to take the pipes off for this so..." I stopped him and said they already quoted me $100. He started saying how 'labor intensive' it was to remove pipes (seriously??) and how they couldn't do it for less than $190. So anyway - I had it done instead at Atlanta Cycle on Buford Hwy for $91. Nice people there (not chatty, but nice) and the work was good. They called me to the back so they could adjust the rear brake how I wanted. That's where I'm gonna take my business from now on. Thought I'd share.
