Thanks for the writeup but it seems like to many potentials for scratches. No thanks.
Got some beastiality fetish I see. I really don't want to see any monkeys screwing anything myself but ... whatever makes you happy. You wont see that from me, but a search on the good ole internet may satsify your needs. LOL

On a serious note :
There is potintial for scratches no matter who changes tires. I had one changed at the dealer and they put some scratches on my rear wheel that won't buff out. I know I will be more careful than anyone else.

It is a 80.00 changer. The $700.00-$800.00 changers have alot more plastic protection built in but I would have to change a lot of tires to justify that price. I think the leather protectors may be the way to go with this one

Yeah, you could have spent the day cruising the forums waiting for yet another opportunity to post cartoon figures instead of getting the satisfaction of working on your own motorcycle (regardless of how long it took, I don't suppose you were charging yourself by the hour).

Well done jsimo7, thanks for the info.

I just got the same changer and mojoblocks and mojo lever. Need to get a tire ordered so I can try it out. I've been waiting for warmer weather as warm tires are easier to work with.

What are mojoblocks and lever?
Yes, I was doing it in a 40 dgeree garage, I agree warm tires would be easier to work with
