Got my tire mounted today

After driving all over the Buffalo area, including the Southern Tier(Cattaraugus County) and having every shop tell me that they could not mount a car tire on a motorcycle wheel, because they do not want to be liable if somthing happens. This included Bob Weaver Motorsports in North Tonawanda, NY who has a picture of a dirt bike with a snowmobile track where the rear tire is suppose to go, that must not be a liablity issue. So on the ay home I stopped off at my bosses shop and used the tire bars for mounting truck tires and put the tire on myself. It wasn't all that hard, the toughest part was keeping the the short sidewall collapsed while...truck tires are easy compaired this. I'm using a 225/50R16 Dunlop Direzza DZ101 on a stock 1800C wheel. Starting assemlbly of this project should start very soon. If I can figure out how to post pics, I will.

Cool man. Mine is at the shop (ok some guys backyard ) now getting installed... I'm getting prepared just in case he can't / won't complete it. I can't wait. Thanks for the info. The more I read, the more I feel I can mount it myself if need be.

just a little mod to help people to shoehorn a bigger tire on there bikes.

Rigid, great tire I gues. I'm running the same size, the Dunlop Sport.
Rides great, pretty round on the edges, corners great
Riding the 1300 but with the Footsmod, so on 1800 C wheels.
Had to do a modification though.
Enjoy the ride.
