Backwards maybe ???????

Cowboy,

Since they put the rear on the front, could they have possibly have put it on out of rotation also (running backwards)? Check it out. If so, that needs to be corrected immediately, and also, if that's the amount of attention they are paying to what they are doing, you may want to consider finding another wrench for your scoot.

Just looked at the tires on my 2004 E Glide Standard.....front and rear are kinda hard to mix up in my non=wrenching, nursing kinda mind......I would think that I would double check ANYTHING that has been done by the shop that put on those tires!
