Yes, I fit and (statically) balance my own tyres. I'm in two minds about doing the RSV though - the 160 on the back of the SV650 was a pain to fit, so I suspect the 190 on the RSV will be worse.
Grrrr. £204 left my wallet.

Had a blow out on rear at 70mph between Harrogate/Ripon but carried on for another couple of miles with the thing wallowing all over the place anyway. I stopped finally, resigned to the fact the AA would take hours to get me home, and they didn't disappoint in that respect. Ran over a screw at speed that punched home in the tread perfectly.
Rather than go with another BT021 I went with Pirelli Angel. Hopefully it'll last more than the 2k for the Bridgestones but they don't grip as well, and slide about a bit leant right over, but that might be with having the BT021 on the front and Pirelli on the back, not sure. I'm sure it only cost about £130 fitted though, or something like that.
