Removing car tire.

Has anyone tried removing the C/T by taking off the back panel on the Goldwing and bringing it out thru the back? I was looking at it and it looks real tight to do that. I have a general on mine and like it, but not sure if it will come out that way should I have a flat. Any ideas would help thanks in advance.

I remember seeing a video a couple years ago of someone doing that. As I remember the tire was deflated and the guy gave it a good shove and it came out and did the same to install it. He also had a ratchet strap on the center stand to keep it from folding up. Sorry I don't remember where I saw the video but most likely it was the GL1800 riders board.
I have AAA because even though the tire would be changeable on the road I wouldn't want to hassle with it. I also have a runflat and if it looked like I would have to change the tire anyway I would run it to a place to get it replaced.

I change mine by laying the bike over on the engine guards. The car tire slides in and out easily.

did the pull it out the back the first time I mounted a tire. It is so much easier and faster laying it on it's side. Good luck

See you out there
