Going DarkSide

After reading much about the tires and doing some hunting, i found a 205/70/15 Grabber UHP for $75 shipped. Just have to wait for about 10 days for it to arrive. What preparations should i do before it gets here? i Plan on changing it myself. I just changed the front one to an Avon and did not have much trouble, How will the rear compare to the front?

We put a Dunlop Signature of that size on my friend Jeff's *(Vader)* 1100 and it seated at 70 lbs with no trouble from the rim, but I'd heard some have a ridge on them you might want to sand down to make beading easier? Just look when you get it off.
We have to take his back off again because the shop just put the tire on; they didn't grease the spline while it was out. And since the tire will last longer than 5 bike tires, you'll want to do the spline periodically regardless.
That's how much I know about Hondyas.

Just get the rim as clean as you can, some even polish it. The car tire is softer than a mt so it will grab and stick to anything on the rim. If you have a R or S model you should turn the exhaust bolts around to keep them from rubbing. Other than that, not much to it. But yes reapply the moly paste to the splines. A 3 oz tube from Honda will last forever.
