Subject: Tire Changing

If you live in Northern VA, my cousin and I purchased a changer. He will do a change and balance on two wheels, if off the bike for $25.

This changer will not scratch your rims. But I will say he had a Ducati in last week that when he pulled the old stick on weights off the paint came with it. But hey, what do you want from a 16k bike? Neeless to say, this changer also does single sided swingarm bikes.

What kind of tire changer did you get? From where? What did it cost? The local dealers want $30-$34 to change and balance a tire on a carry in rim. I'm thinking of getting my own machine. I'll have it paid for in no time at those prices. (NT) -- (TLR)Marty - WA, 01:35:06 04/15/04 Thu
- Just click here:
  Wiko MC110 Tire Changer
  I wil lsay it's a lot like the cheap one from Harbor Frieght, but you don't get that bar with the nylon piece to keep the rims from getting buggered. And they WILL NOT sell just the bar at Wiko. It was well worth the money. We have changed over 50 tires with this since I got it last year. (NT) -- Gary Foreman - www.tl1000.com, 07:39:47 04/15/04 Thu
  - Gary, not to rain or anything, but I dissagree. Remeber when I went through the trouble of trying to find that bar. I asked you where you got your changer from and son on. Well, I got that exact bar from Wiko. Just ordered it and even bought some extra nylon bar ends, but I believe I paid just over $100 for everything. I will say---THE BAR MAKES THE DIFFERENCE! Thanks for help by the way. (NT) -- Matt, Indiana, 17:45:16 04/15/04 Thu
    - They must have stopped it then. Friend tried to get one last week and they wanted his invoice to prove he had their machine. You got lucky!!! (NT) -- Gary Foreman, 20:26:18 04/15/04 Thu
