Im looking for someone around Salem or Corvallis that will let me borrow an Axle tool. I was going to have a shop remove my wheels and mount my new tires but budget constraints mean I need to remove them myself and I can't find my axle tool

Get a coupler nut at the hardware store.

If you have one of those old timey 13/16ths spark plug socket w/the 7/8in flats on top so you can use either an open end wrench or a ratchet, that will work.

Put an extension into the spark plug end, using the flats as a hex wrench.

Hope this helps, Dave

or get a bolt that the head fits into the axle and put a couple of nuts on it, jammed together.

Alternately, I've got one down in Florence that i'd be happy to loan out, if you ever made it out this way.

Don't forget to loosen the axle pinch bolt, before trying to turn the axle.

If this is your first time working on the rear wheel of a Buell.
Make sure to follow the service manual instructions during reassembly.

You are welcome. And +1 on the service manual.
