Tire Changer

[UncleSteve]

I got tired of taking tires and wheels to have them changed. A trip to Harbor Freight and now I can do the job at home or on the road.
Approx $100 for the changer, $50 for the balance stand and $110 for the nomar mount/demount bar. Nomar has a better bar for MC wheels.

Very nice! One of these days, I want to get the same one.

I still can not believe I did not think of bolting mine to the bike rack..

should have included a better pic of the "no mar" bar

Nice Setup!

The same HF one I have. Works all right. Especially if my wife helps me.

Nice setup! I just found out last week that the one we use for our cars at the shop will work on the Busa wheel!

Nice setup, any reason for the tire change-up.

Nice Steve, you should bring it with you when on the road with Doug.

Big Steve,
I have the same one, truthfully, I found it easier not to use anything but the bead breaker - I let everything thing sit in the sun for awhile and then get it with the spoons - putting them on, all by hand if the rubber is warm enough. Need to look at the balance stand though - I used the dyna beads the last time that I changed my tires - colen and Dennis can probably attest to how big a pain that is from when we did Omar's!
The nomar bar works pretty well then?

I put liquid rubber coating on the wheel clamps

Nice..... is that a sale price for the changer?

Yes it was on sale, or you can always save 20% with the coupons. I happened to be in the store when they had one piece on sale and used the coupon on the other. Went back another day for the balance stand and used another coupon.
Harbor Freight only allows the coupon on one item at a time.

Don't think it will fit.

the "NoMar" bar is a must.. it keeps the wheels from being torn up... Obviously not as nice as a powered machine but does pretty well and you can "off/on" a tire in just a couple minutes

I gotta get a set up---I'm tired of spending all that money at the dealership for a change. if I don't buy the tires from him he charges even MORE for a change!!!!
