Cross-spoked wheels have a thicker rim profile at the sides because of where the spokes exit. The standard Street Bike Tire Changer duck head isn't wide enough to clear it, which means if you try to use the standard setup on a cross-spoked rim, it won't seat correctly and you risk damaging the rim.

The Duck Head Kit for Cross-Spoked Wheels fixes that. This design is specifically engineered to match the cross-spoked rim profile, and the included mounting arm and hardware replace the standard arm to complete the swap. No other parts needed.

Common bikes that require this kit: modern BMW GS and GSA models, Triumph Scrambler, Triumph Tiger, Harley-Davidson Pan America, newer Honda Africa Twins, Ducati Multistrada, Moto Guzzi V85, and other adventure bikes with side-exit spoke configurations. When in doubt, look at where your spokes terminate at the rim, if they run out to the sides rather than straight through the center, you need this kit.

Best for: adventure bike owners using the Street Bike Tire Changer on cross-spoked wheels, and anyone who bought the base Street Bike Tire Changer or Starter Kit and is adding cross-spoked compatibility. Already included in the Ultimate Kit.

Note: This kit is for the Street Bike Tire Changer only. The standard duck head must be swapped out. It is not suitable for cross-spoked rims.
