Unless the wheel support blocks are thick enough, I don't see how you could change a rear tire with the sprocket attached. If you can easily remove your rear sprocket, this shouldn't be an issue. If your rear sprocket is bolted to your wheel, I wouldn't want to remove it.
The support blocks stand off the framework 1.5". So I guess the answer depends on how far out your sprocket sits.
I opened the box, and the boxes inside the box. This is really well made, good welds, finish detail, and is quite heavy duty. I'll make some time tomorrow to put it together and post a couple pics for you guys.

Looks like a well built piece of equipment, if didn't already have a No Mar would check this out.

A brake rotor is about 1/4" thick, the rear pulley is about 1-7/8" thick (the older Harley's had a wider belt). My guess is that it would not work. Support blocks would probably need to be thicker.
What a timely thread. My tires have 10k on them, so I’ve been looking at the options. My garage is space challenged, so this might be a good option. Will be waiting for your “operational” review.
I put it together and mounted my front tire/wheel to it, let out the air, and broke the bead on both sides. I literally said holy **** that was easy out loud. On to removing the tire. I struggled with this for about a half hour and decided to step away before I broke something. I went and had tacos and thought about what I could be doing wrong. Turns out the bead on the back side had got itself nearly seated again, so I flipped the wheel around an broke the bead again, After that I had the tire off in under 2 minutes. Both beads need to be free of the wheel, and floating in or near the drop channel of the wheel.
Those of you that though a stiff Harley tire would be difficult on this tool can rest easy, it works like a champ once you get the hang of it.
These pics don't really tell a story, but I know how much y'all like pictures.
