Steve I look at all of the videos on the DVD, and I really don't find anything that gives me a sense that the No-Mar changer can be used on sport touring tires ? Do you have any experience with being able to change tires on a Kawasaki Concours? I use Avon tires 120/70-18 Front & 150/80-16 Rear. I'd have a hard time justifying the changer if I still needed to remove and install the tires using the spoon bars. Regards Kevin

Kevin, Sport touring tires should be a snap with our Mount/ Demount bar only. You really don't need the Spoonbars at all. A yellow thing tool and a set of Xtra hand clamps let you manipulate the stiffer sport touring tires easily. See our video BMW-K12S with Metzeler Roadtek Z6 tire. A perfect example of a sport touring tire and probably the toughest combo of rim and tire. Quite easy when observing all of the detail we demonstrate. Concours tire- Easy. If you lube the "rim" and "tire" the way we show in the videos, they go on quite easy. Skip a step or do it your "Old way" and the results will not be the same. Note: Our "SpoonBars" were designed for only installation af very stiff tires. Dunlop E3 60's. Your tires do not match that design. They are nearly a Run-Flat style tire on the Goldwing which the bars were designed to install. I had a gentleman call today to order 2 spoonbars to install his BMW LT tires. He said he had a tough time installing them with our mount/demount bar. I tried to reason with him to convince him otherwise, because I know that is quite an easy tire to install with our M/D bar. Probably he was not using the lubes the way we show or relieving the tire as required. He bought the SpoonBars anyway but they really were not necessary. Sue here can install the Concours tires. She put on a rear at Daytona this year, and she only weighs 115 lbs.(She put on some weight ). Get a Classic model, yellow thing tool, and 3 Xtra hand clamps. A great combo for your needs.
