Good job!
Is this tire machine designed for cars with a moto adapter or is it just for motos? What about the balancer?

Its a mayflower 980 with motorcycle wheel adapters and the balancer is a katool i forget the model with the motorcycle wheel mount. I do  mostly car tires on the side but its nice when you have bike tires todo

Good job 1973cb750. Let us know how the tyres wear, please?

Motorcycle trip to the Grand Canyon?  Would LOVE to see photos if that's the case.  For my wife and me, that area will always be a special place as we hiked to the bottom during our honeymoon.  Kind of a spur of the moment thing as we took in the spectacular views with the sun just rising our first morning there.  Me: "wanna hike down to the bottom?".  Her: "ok".  In two weeks we'll be celebrating 35 years. Blink of the proverbial eye.

defiantly taking the dslr and hopping to camp and ride the whole way, right now i'm prepping the 1100 for a good trip new tires, chain sprockets, fork seals springs etc, new battery, windshield, and nut and bolt check i just made a few videos in the shed not nothing special just bs'ing about the wheel bearings etc
