I have the harbor freight manual tire changer along with the MC tire attachment. I use the attachment without the support arm and center rod; just use the base with clamps to hold rim after breaking the bead.
I use three tire spoons to remove and install tires, with help from two plastic drop center tools. For lube, I use NAPA Ruglyde. Works great for me.

Harbor Freight motorcycle changer
Got home and put both ,the lower and the upper motorcycle attachment together.
And my first impression is it will get the JD Power Award for initial quality for $65 bucks. And the plus is ,I can also do car tires with the lower half. Now I just have to get the NoMar tips for the lever and the nylon blocks from Mojo tools or buy a 1"x 2" nylon bar item#8733k66 for $21 at McMaster Carr and make them .And I do think it will hold up for long enough to pay for it safe ten times over !
