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.

Just so you don't feel leftout and go away in tears:
It is a good write-up and the members contemplating on this changer have some input from the OP to help with the decision.............................regardless of the absence of pics.

The mojo blocks protect your wheels from the clamps on the changer. The Mojo lever would replace the HF lever, it is plastic coated to protect the rims, I also hear good things about the NOMAR lever.
Here is a link .

I'm also considering getting the wheel balancer recommended. In the past I've used spoons to change the tires and a steel rod on jack stands to balance them.

With all due respect cupcake, I do ALL the wrenching on my scoot. At lease jsimo7 knew it was a poke at him and didn't get sand in his vagina like you must've.

Jim,
I was just razzin ya.
I'm seriously contemplating the HF changer vs. the No-Mar changer and I DO appreciate your write-up. Seriously. It gives me insight from somebody who's actually used the HF changer versus some that may think it's junk even though they've never tried it. The function over form is also very valuable and I perceived from you're write-up you're satisfied.
As others have stated, thanks for taking the time to convey your experience.

The tool bar is the only thing that needs redesigned. It needs some kind of plastic where it touches the rim. The rest of the changer was sturdy, solid, and very usable for home tire changes. The tool bar came with the base changer and not the M/C adaptor so it is designed for car rims I think. I will look into the mojo bar or another kind of rim protection before I use it again. Cleveland Ohio M/C show is next week so maybe can look at some options there
.. Group hug would work but the beastiality ultraclassic must go to the corner and not touch anyone LOL
