Changing a Honda Goldwing Tire

If you own a Goldwing or a similar motorcycle, you know just how much pain it is to change a tire with your bare hands and a set of tire irons. In fact, most riders would rather dump their bikes at a garage and have the tires changed for them despite the rising costs and the hassle of booking appointments, not to mention the travel time that’s best spent riding.

However, the Street Bike Tire Changer is a tool to eliminate that pain – and make tire changing easier than ever before.

First things first: the assembly of the Street Bike Tire Changer. In the video below, Fred unboxes and assembles his Rabaconda using the instruction manual. As you can see, putting the Street Bike Tire Changer together is easy and fast even if you aren’t mechanically minded:

Now for the tire change itself. In the video below, Fred introduces the Street Bike Tire Changer highlighting the entire tire-changing process and the key features of the tool.
