Well there you go...Buy yourself a COATES 220 and install yourself....
When it is times 2 in our house, it really adds up...Plus, no scarred
rims...I don't  even like my dual purpose rims scarred...I HAD TO HAVE them
done by a dealer in TUCSON, when he said, "It is only a dirt bike"....I
replied..."No scars on the rim PLEASE!"
