I need to start doing that. Tire mounting is the only maintenance item I pay someone else to do.

It's kind of a hassle but the tools are cheap enough. A set of decent spoons is $25 and a balancing stand is less than $100. Not fancy but it gets the job done. Not even necessary if, like my buddy, you use something like Ride-on. I really need a new bead breaker now. My old clamp-style one won't work with my fat tires. A vice or c-clamp or even standing on the tire works for many. I need to look into them. Maybe build something.

Regardless, it's cheap and satisfying.

You should see the bead breaker I made, lol. I buried a 4 by 4 post in the yard near the shop for starters. It works.

I have a static stand in the attic I made years ago, i just use ride on now.

Today I got the rear wheel off. It did not go as smoothly as planned but I got it.

Designed and 3D printed a mount for the powervision, it attaches to the FXDLS speed screen with 3M double side tape, cleans the handlebar and puts the PV in front of me for easy viewing

Today I assembled the new shelf and put cardboard on the shelves so things wont fall through the slots. I cleared off the workbench a little and set the rear wheel on there. As far as the rear wheel goes, the plans are: new tire, rim strip, tube, bearings, new chrome belt pulley, and polishing the rear sprocket, chrome bolts/hardware. Thorough cleaning and detail.

As an employee of The Home Depot, I thank you for your purchase, and the cardboard tip. Need to remember that for future customers. Not my dept, but I work all over store.

Looking good there. Expect completion pictures too. tp dd50

67 degrees two days before Christmas. Been a long time since I remember it being this warm this time of year. I didnt do any riding though. Started wet sanding my buddies tins will be buffing clear here shortly. Mixed him up a Lamborghini dark grey color. Not necessarily my style but should look good. Think I'll take a break and least clean my bike it needs it badly lol. But two pics of the rear fender at least.
