The best part of your commentary was that every time you announced the end of a "fun part", you would say "now comes the fun part.", which is kind of like saying once you get down below the surface of the mud, there's more mud. If I'm going to buy a tire, the seller is going to install it.
nice video! I just bought a 2006 vstar 1100 Silverado off a buddy last week for a second motorcycle. I also live in Coweta county! I'm going to try same method I have motion pro tools but mine are the smaller set. replacing both tires, all the brake calipers new rotors and new pads. bike sat for over 8 years.
I will say, make sure the tires are nice and warm when you put them in the rims so the rubber can stretch and use plenty of lube! Lol. I used soapy water, but I've also seen Windex used too. It helps the rubber slide over the rim. Even then it takes muscle to get the last bit of the tire over the rim. Since you're local, we should meet up and head for a ride sometime!
An easy way to air it up is to ratchet strap the tire. Put the ratchet strap around the whole tire and squish the tire against the rim. As you’re airing it up the bead will pop on
Also, put A pipe under the back tire of your car and put the very edge of the other end on the tire you’re trying to break the bead. Slowly back over the pipe and it should break the bead
I got it off Amazon. I've just used it this once, but it did a decent job. ZENY 1100 LB Wide Deck Motorcycle Center Scissor Lift Jack Repair Hoist Stand Bikes ATVs,Motorcycle Dirt Bike Scooter Crank Stand a.co/d/fQi8PFg
