lots of good set ups

 

Changed the front on my Road Glide. Never again. Life's too short.

 

Bit of difference between being stuck out in the middle of bumfuk nowhere before cell phones patching a tube with spoons and foot pump and being at a point in life you can say fug it and pay somebody to do it.

 

I changed both tires on my Lowrider using spoons and plastic rim protectors. Big pita, never again.
We have a motorsports dealer near here, if you take the wheel off yourself and take it to them. They will mount and balance it for $30. That's how I will do mine in the future.
Good luck

I did tire work over half my life ive always changed my own bike tires . the cast wheels are a bit rough to break the bead on .last year one of my Riddin buddys bought a changer from harbor freight and I used it to break the beads then spooned it off the rim . I use rags under the spoon to keep from scratching the rims . usually I don't balance the tires just line up the valve stem with the dot on the tire and haven't had any problem with the balance . ponderin on getting one of those changers from harbor freight tho. that thing was nice and cheap .
