Not bad. But you made it harder than it needs to be. Did a GW1800 set. The trick is WOOD BLOCKS. 4- 3/4" blocks for the rear, 1/2" for the front, to push the tire into the rim drop when makes the job a piece of cake. Push the tire bead down as far as you can and around the as much of the rim as you can and insert wood blocks. Lift the tire bead over the rim. Use plenty of lube. Soap is fine. When you seat the bead, don't get crazy with the air. Watch the max pressure.

lol i don't know much about motorcycle tire recycling, but if you are not actually planing to recycle these, why don't you just cut the old tire in half and save yourself lots of sweat?!?

Hmm i can picture scratched and chipped paintwork on rims especially if it's not factory finish so debating wether to just pay a few quid and get someone with a machine ... nice vid though !

I'm guessing most people that suggest changing a tyre is a really easy, 10 minute, one man job has never put a Bridgestone BT023 on, they are a complete nightmare if you are on your own. I've done it 3 times now (2 rear 1 front) and it doesn't get any easier. Sports tyres put themselves on in comparison.
Were can u buy the tire irons and wheel protectors from (or what/how you make them) cant find any on the internet????

@SpeedsterGuyCoverage We're changing tires with a shovel here, haha.
No but seriously, I've stopped balancing my tires over the years and for what we do, I don't notice a difference.
