My girlfriend bought me the tire changer machine and balancer from Harbor Freight this morning. The new Motorcyclist had a 20% coupon in it so she got the tire changer, mc adapter and balancer for $128 otd. Three tire changes and it's paid for brother!!! I bought some rim savers so I'm good there and I might get a delrin tipped tire bar just to be sure I don't scratch my rims when they come back from powder coating. Here's some pics. Yes I anchored it to my patio and yes I know my patio is a fucking mess!!!

Let me know how you like it once it's battle tested, I'd like to invest in something like that soon.

if you didn't like the way it clamped the rim you can get some of these.
http://home.comcast.net/~prestondrake/mojoblocks.htm they are on my list. I got that changer a few weeks ago. works better if you mount it to something like a 4X4 sheet of plywood.

Hopefully, it'll come in handy. Besides, I can probably pick up a couple bucks flipping tires for guys going to Ron Ayers, paying $300 for Shinkos and another $100 to mount them!
