Who can stud my tires for winter?

I'm looking to run my 07 R1 on the ice this winter. I've got a spare set of rims with my worn out slicks (plenty of tread left on them) that I'll use. I got a longer chain so I can move the rear tire back enough for the studs to clear the swingarm. My neighbour has a setup for his Porsche GT3 for the ice, so we're gonna attempt a similar video to:

Who's the best guy to stud my tires? I did it on my dirtbike way back when (the ones you just screwed into the knobbies) but I assume a different setup is needed for my track bike. I'd like ones that'll really stay put and be strong cause they'll get abused pretty bad, rolling burnouts, lots of wheelies, etc :D
 
They use actual snowmobile studs? Studded tires I have seen in the past used hex head screws. How long can the studs be? I have bags and bags of them in my garage with no purpose (although I suspect you want the shortest possible studs for this project).

Sorry, I don't really have the time these days to do this for you.

You could build them yourself, it's not that hard, just really time
consuming.

Good luck with everything.

I will sell you a 120/190 set already done.
 
I'M looking forward to a rolling burnout on ice, by the time you get smoke you might be pretty deep, I'd get a life jacket.

I'm sure a new member with a weird autogenerated username will post an ice racing video in near future :cool: With the way the weather's been going, probably sometime next month :(

There are motorcycle and scooter specific studs available for street use online. There are also ice racing specific studs which tend to be much larger. I believe both usually come with some special bits/tools for installing them yourself with a cordless drill. As far as I'm aware it's pretty easy to do but time consuming because you have to put so many in.
