normiss 898 #1 July 28, 2011 Does anybody know of a person with a tire changer in the Bridgeport, Morgantown WV area or Cumberland, Hagerstown MD area or close by any of those areas. Biker buddy is down with a flat in unfamiliar territory. Please let me know if you can point us to the right shop! thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 898 #3 July 28, 2011 Thanks. I had already sent him this and every other HD dealer and shop in the area. I think it pissed him off. Silly boxer riders. On a serious note, I thought BMW's had the ability to allow easy wheel removal and then the tire can be changed on a car tire machine. No? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 60 #4 July 28, 2011 Are the sidewalls thick and stiff like run-flats on a car? If so, only a small percentage of shops have the right machine. It needs to be much more powerful and have protective stops to protect the rim.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethefly 6 #5 July 28, 2011 I don't want to sound like a dick, but suggest to him about spending $20.00 on some tire spoons and change it himself. I can do it faster than the machine. Been changing them by hand since I was a kid swapping knobbies on my dirtbike."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."
