Title: Tire Change
Post by: iceracer83 on April 19, 2010, 12:16:57 PM

Hi All,
J Minnesota from MN-Sportbike here. ('95 VFR with silver flames)
A co-worker needs a tire swap, he has the tires but no tools or ability to make the change.

As I recall, at least one person on the list offered his tire changing services for a nominal fee. But, of course, I deleted the contact information.
Kind of funny, I have an old suspension article link from Karl.

Thanks,
Jay

Kyle is the MAN.

zx10freak@comcast.net

Used to have his phone number, but can't find it right now.

Also, for the record, Kyle Ohnstad does a lot of painting.

Kyle, yes! Thank you Brent. That's the name I could not recall.
Thanks for the e-mail. I will pass it along.

I'm pretty sure Kyle and Lloyd charge the same low low price for a tire change.

Kyle's in the north metro, Lloyd is in the south. I'd go to whichever one was closer.

Definitely go to Lloyd or Kyle if you're nearby, but as a standing offer for anyone around Rochester who wants to change their own tires, with a little advance notice you can use my home setup - a cheap (but effective) Central Machinery stand with a No-Mar mount/demount bar.  You can even balance them on my handy-dandy static balancing rig.

No payment required, but I do accept tips in 6-pack form!  :cheers:
