Mikey Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I saw a wicked tire changer setup at Americade. It had a special levers for harder tires (like goldwings) you could buy seperately and a rod that helps seat the tire has a coating so it doesn't mar the rim. It wasn't silly expensive either. Couple hundred. I had a link, but I've misplaced it. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Found it.... No Mar tire changer Now to talk Tina into it :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavdog Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I bought the TireQuick last year for my VFR. It works okay.. I marred the rear wheel up from fighting w/the tire on the garage floor. By the time I realized, it was too late. My suggestion is to get a larger carpet sample to put the wheel/tire on. And to put the tire in the sun/oven before trying to install. The balancer works pretty well. http://www.tireqwik.com/tireqwik/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganDonor Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I have the Harbor Freight set up with the motorcycle wheel attachment. I did the Bird's last rear tire on it, wasn't too bad, but trying to manage rim protection at the same time sucked. I just picked up a used set of No-Mar tools off the Goldwing list.... Should make things much easier. I got four of these: And three of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broknarrow Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 PUSSIES! Tires machines are for cagers. 2 tire irons , 1 Aerostitch Bead Breaker, Motion Pro Bead Buddy, Napa tire soap, and balance on a well greased axle. Maybe a pair of gloves if your hands are soft.
