Title: Looking for local tire changer - Local Birmingham / Tuscaloosa Area
Post by: Gearbanger on May 08, 2024, 06:32:34 PM
Looking to see if I can find anyone local that has a motorcycle tire changer.  I have a balancer myself but just don't feel like spooning them on if I don't have too.  I'll have the wheels off and ready just waiting now for my tires to come in.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have a NoMar in N. Alabama, east of Huntsville.

I appreciate it.  Your just a bit far out for me.  There used to be a guy local, I think he went by YamaMoto that had a NoMar here but I'm not sure if he on the forum anymore.

Updated already....  Just bought some more spoons and something to break the bead...   Looks like I'll be doing it myself.  This is the third bike in 5 months.  I really need my own changer.

Thanks everyone.  I hate this place isn't active anymore.

It'll come back.  We just have to post up some fun stuff.  Rides, Flashmobs, wrench parties...
Hey jrobinson, I love the way the forum looks and feels now.  It's ready for action!

And Gearbanger, there is a real shortage of motorcycle shops around Birmingham.  And that's getting to be more and more the case nationwide as parts and diagnostics get harder to obtain.

I bought one of the rabaconda street changers last year. I could probably be talked into getting more practice with it with the proper social lubricants ;-)

RuGlyde is the proper tire lubricant.
