Thanks again for the help, honestly was much easier than I expected.
I am looking to figure out how to do the changes myself as well without busting a rim if you have any advice I would love to see a thread. I already have a front stand (pitbull 2nd hand) and am looking for a rear (also looking for pitbull; so my front can lift up because it doesn't work with the center stand). Been trying to rack up all the maintenance gears/tools so I can add more bikes to garage. I want a tuareg 660 and cb1000gt when they drop state side. I can then make my cb1100 back to cafe styling instead of hippo hands and and top box w/ a cb1000gt in the garage.
Sounds exciting with the other bikes! I'll be installing a new rear, but I "cheated" and bought a Rabaconda tire changer last year. MagnaRider, since you just did this w/out a tire changer, what most made it do-able? The bead breaker, watching the videos, having an extra hand, having good tire irons, warming the tires prior to install?
I need a new rear bad, at 10k miles on my t32 (only 1 year old). Its definitely pass the wear bar but enough rubber for me to make it to next weekend when I have time to change the tire. I also have a car so buying some tools is a non issue. I usually remove my tire and buy a tire and install at the shop. I could definitely save some money doing my own tires.
