how do you put an xb front tire on a computer spin balancer?

neither my Buell dealer, nor any independant shops are equipped to deal with the ztl rotor. their spin machine has nothing to drive or break on.

it really upsets me that my Buell dealer can't even do it. heck, they couldnt even do my x1.

If you removed the wheel bearings You could most likely mount it on a computer spin balancer.

I use a manual balancer. Gotta be a bike shop near you that has one. The wheel stays vertical and only mounts through the bearings

too bad your in Ohio, I'd do it for you. You'd be responsible for the work with the tire irons though.
