I have a set of tires that I need to mount and would like to use a tire machine. These go on a Gold Wing and I have to get another set for my Voyager. I was younger once but working on the ground holds no allure for me. Anyone in Central Texas have a machine I could use? I have my sets of tire irons but you just can't beat leverage of the long bar. My other problem! I only have the one motorcycle jack and there is a Gold Wing frame and motor mounted on it, So I have to get the Wings tires mounted and installed then I need to raise up the Voyager to get the rear off. I have done the "remove the rear fender, trailer hitch" thing and it just easier to jack it up 18 inches and pull the wheel out, by about an hour easier! So it looks like I need to get the fork seals replaced and revamp the rear shocks on the Wing pronto! This event well end up taking a couple hours over a couple of days, barring any unforseen glitches.
