Default FXDF Australian wheels

Time again to change the rear tire. Got about 12,000 miles each from the first 2 rear tires. I don't baby it by any means, but do spend a fair amount of time on the sides of tire..
anyhow as I am doing any work my Lab Coco likies to be near....

Pic below...................Surprised I didn't see this before when changing tires.....Made in Australia, cool

For home changing of the tires, you really can't beat the No-Mar tire changer. And it positively does NOT mar your rims, even carbon fiber ones. It has paid for itself in several years use and multiple motorcycles, none of them getting anywhere near the mileage I get with the stock D427 for the Fat Bob.

Prefer it said 'Made in U.S.A" but not going to complain about Australia. They're good people. When it says "Hecho en Mexico" is when I give up.

All Harley wheels are made in Australia. I as in the factory tour in York a few weeks ago and they made sure we were aware that ALL Harley wheels are made in Australia.
