Looks like a handy piece of kit. Here's a link to the full kit video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umUrhgxsHtI Wonder if it's ok for road tyres?

Guys on advrider just did a bulk order of these. One already has one and reports it works well.

Very cool. How much? Looks like the idea would work great for dirt bikes, but I'm not sure if the pivot point for the side tools would need to change. Using the bead breaker to seat 4 tire tools was brilliance also.

Yeah, but that's only the ratchety thing. The stand & bead breaker kit is another €200 on top or €300 if you want the pro version.

Time you've factored in shipping, customs duty, & taxes, plus exchange rates & fees, I'd guess you'll be looking well on the north side of 500 dollies.

I wonder how the buell wheel bearings would like the forces that thing lays down.

My guess is the forces are the same for any wheel. It is radial rather than in line with the axle, so it seems like pushing the bead over the rim edge is no more (or likely, less) than the weight of the bike pushing on the bearings.
