Good to know on the headers. Actually seating the bead on both tires took 20lbs or really just under. Just FYI, the first 20lbs in the rear takes no time.....the next 16 or so take freaking forever! I was able to remove and install both front and rear tires on the wheels using nothing but...

looks like a blast

Not sure about the OP, but I plan on using lots of windex and a bicycle tire pump to seat the beads......i might just video that :D A stand that uses the sliders, yet another good idea. Never thought of using them for anything other than sliders and a spot to rest my feet while cruising.

:thumbup: :rockon:

Whatchya waitin' for?

Good ideas. I was leery about putting something under the headers, guess its no big deal? I figured I would try the zip ties and if it didn't work I would cut them off and take the wheels to the shop and pretend like nothing happened :D I have a feeling that the rear is going to be more...

Thanks! I removed my front wheel without issue using the spark plug as the axle tool as mentioned. After installing my center stand and putting the bike up and checking the balance point I decided not to take my heavy bag down and go through that so I just strapped the rear down, removed the...

I like to hit 88....... I ride my girlfriends GSX-R750 pretty often. It gives me bike envy. It does everything better than mine. The only things that I like more about my bike is obviously the more comfy posture (even though I find her seat more comfortable, which is crazy since its wide...

no lie, thats pretty damn impressive

yeah thats with me bringing in wheels off the bike

Interesting. the yamaha dealer here wants $90 rear, $50 front to mount and balance. Called the Harley dealer just to see.......$30 a piece.

"I usually place a bag or two of mulch (or similar) on the rear of the bike to weigh it down thereby lifting the front. After removing the wheel I like to place some wood or a small cooler under the front of the bike in case somebody decides they need some mulch for their garden.." Cool...

I've seen where to remove the tire, once you break the bead you can use 6 large zip ties to compress the tire (in place of the straps) and work it off by hand. I'm actually going to try that this week. One thing I'd like to know before I get started, what do you use to jack up the front...

That looks sweet! Came out great

Me too. I love it. I like the fact that i can wax everything with it with no residue. I hit everything with it, even my windscreen. I becsme a believer after using it on my grand cherokee laredo plastics which are notorious for turning gray and my 04 plastics still looked new when i sold it last...

of course it all depends on the LEO, but generally......"9 your fine, ten your mine" is what I get when I ask.

biggest thing for me after being on the bike for a few days then jumping in the car, is going to pass someone then realizing "oh man, this is going to take a while".

oh wow, not what I thought you meant at all. That is jacked up

May sound crazy to you, but check your clutch lever free play. Maybe even adjust it a little loose. Im assuming it fellon the kickstand side.

I tried listening to music once while riding. I use the earbud things that go into your ears like plugs at the gym so I tried them. No problem with them staying in while putting on my helmet, but the faster I went the more I turned the music up. After a 75 mph interstate run I stopped my bike...
