Home Brew Motorcycle Tire Changer

I made this based off of what I saw on http://www.no-scufftiretool.com/ . I don't need to change car tires, so there is no need to have a whole corner of my garage wasted on a commercial sized tire changer setup.

canged it on my cb 400f from 77 it took me bout a hour or more WITH a pro set up for hand changing but te tire was rusted on the rim bead he he. think your setup is great but nuthing to hold it steady if you get the same prob i had. thumbs up

@transdetendal Yeah, the trick is to bolt the car wheel to the ground, a workbench, or a picnic table. That way you can really get after the motorcycle wheel with the tire remover/installer bar. Honestly, since I made this thing I've not used it. I've had decent luck with good ol tire spoons and soapy water since all of my stuff is tubed wheels rather than tubeless.

Looks good man. I'm planning on making one like this. Do you see any problem with putting that much stress on the spokes with the "stop" rod that is welded to the wheel?

[luketrash]

@earzcd It should be OK. If you lubricate the bead with soapy water, it should peel off without bending your spokes. Normally I could use spoons to take off the tire with the help of another person holding the tire still. So it's not a huge amount of stress on the spoke.
