In my my quest for reliability, I recently bought a '10 rear wheel. I also bought a No-scuff tire tool. http://no-scufftiretool.com/ I constructed one of their tire changers shown on their website. I bolted it to my Black & Decker Workmate, and it all worked good. I did put a tiny ding in the rim, because I'm an idiot. Always follow directions! To go along with it all, I bought a Tusk wheel balancer. Pretty sturdy construction for the price. After years of tire irons or paying someone else. I think this was a good way to go. Total investment, around $180. In time, it will pay for itself.  Bottom view.  (Message edited by motorfish on August 31, 2013) | ||

Sorry, I should of added this post to DougM`s post on July 31. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/718069.html I don`t have a yellow thing, I used a 3/4" x 3/4" piece of wood. | ||

Great info; I'm book marking this for when I no longer have free access to a Coats pneumatic motorcycle tire changer. How about a link to the balancer? | ||

I hope you continue to be spoiled, Teeps. That is THE way to do it. But if you ever need it, here you go. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_fb_0_12?url=s earch-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=tusk+wheel+balanc er&sprefix=tusk+wheel+b%2Cautomotive%2C387 | ||

Me too. Long as they don't relocate the facility, I'm golden for now... Over 40 plus year, I have yet to pay to have motorcycle tires installed. I hate to start now. Thanks for the link. |
