I finally found a place that will MOT my Harley Tri Glide Ultra which is a class 4 MOT.
Nigel Scotfold, Station Road, South Woodchester, Stroud. Trike needed a new front tyre and pads which I had previously purchased but they said they don't do mechanical work. After phoning around half a dozen m/cycle places no one will do the work . So I bit the bullet and went over to Harley dealership in Cheltenham. Booked a date only to be told they don't fit 3rd party items. Seems they order them in, at price no doubt. Do here I am wondering who the heck in Gloucester area can change my front tyre as well as all the pads. If anyone has any advice I am all ears. I am not mechanically minded, nor have the tools to remove the wheels o.k.
Thanks.

That’s pretty grim if a normal bike shop can’t, or won’t, do this kind of work. Hopefully someone in the forum lives nearby and can have a look.

See if any Harley dealers will do it, and take a nice day trip to them, plus don't use Cheltenham for any work or parts.
Check out Zodiac Harley parts as they are normally sold by independent bike shops.

Re: MOT Gloucester area
Hi guys, i bought a front tyre from ebay for the divvy & had my local car tyre shop change it for me. ATS Euromaster are a nationwide chain & very helpful. Just took the front wheel into them & they fitted it no problem. I also had new rear tyres fitted to both our XVS's by the same place but at a different time. Just give them a call. Good luck. Bob.

If ATS don't work out then you'll have to start looking further and further away, trying every single tyre/car/bike/agricultural place you can find.
Are there any mobile fitters in your area?
