first tire change

[rockadaous]

Steve donated the bike and tires

we mounted up some shinko 003's front and rear
The front was crazy easy. The back kicked our arse for about an hour

We ended up putting the tire on the floor and the big kid stomped it

all and all it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Steve is out test ride'n right now. I'm sure he'll post his $.02

all right who's next

here's a few shots in between working

if anyone is planning on buying the harbor freight tire changer. You can get by with buying just the base and a set of spoons.

No thank you, Rock is the man....He wouldnt give up on the rear, I was about ready to put the old back on....we finally got it knocked out though, Had never pulled any of my tires off myself, now I feel comfortable enough to do them, just looking for a set of stands(pm me sponsors), cant tell you how much I appreciate your time, thanks man

Plan on riding this weekend, Steve?

Glad you got it done.

Rock, how did you rebalance the wheels?

I'm guessing he used beads... They are tested to 200mph...

Hey Rock,.....if you are going to start changing your own tires,........purchase this static balancer. I have used this one for 5 years with NO ISSUES. Perfect balance everytime. I've changed many tires for others,.....and some have had the balance checked with a dealer.........only to find the balance to be perfect. Click the link

That is what I thought... I told you the best way was to put them suckers on the ground!

Are you going to? You'll have to pull the wheels off again right?

Is this some new trick, that you don't have to?

The trick is to go get these beads... Less then 10 mins... I have them on my BUSA... I'm sure there is a dealer near you...

it's not that we didn't want to. we ran out of time. We'll have to pull them again. We wanted the hard part out of the way.

Good job Rock, it will get easier once you get the system down.
