Norm does tires

[BigNorm]

And get you one of these in 24mm so you don't hafta drop exhaust to torque axle nut

Wow! That's cool! my birthday is coming up!

Wow! That looks like a "whole day job" if everything goes right? Nice looking combo on your ride. First time on the "dark side"?

It was a full day then some. It will go faster next time then faster after that. If I ever catch up on all my crap around here I want to fab up my own tire machine. But that is somewhere in the future. for now I know I can handle my own tires and the exercise is good for me.

Its my first time double dark side. I ran the same yokohamma tire on the Harley.

Nice post and job Norm and good on ya fer doin' it yourself! I just don't have the motivation, especially after a days work.

I remove my bevel box every time. I remove my rear wheel using just Flip's center stand, and it's much easier to remove (and clean and regrease) the bevel box than the Carp exhaust on the other side. That gives me room to angle and slide out the wheel.

I see what your saying but I have TORS & don't have to drop the exhaust pipes at all. Dropped the brake & bracket, pulled axle, pulled wheel, cleaned n regreased drive gear, popped back on total of 1 1/2 hour.......... Now - if I'd had my thinking cap on, since I had wheel off, I shoulda greased driveshaft as Warp said
Dumb butt me
