So I changed the tire on my buddy's SV1000 the other day, and I need to change both tires on my CB750, XS650, and FZ1, as well as un-mount a couple of other tires. I changed the SV1000 tire on the garage floor with some 2x4s and tire levers. What a pain in the ass. I've done it before a few years ago and now remember why I haven't done it since. Breaking beads with a my crappy 2x4 lever system attached to my workbench isn't easy.
So I was thinking about buying, or building something like this:

Here's a video of it in action:
No-Mar has some other nice models. I might just buy the clamping blocks and no-mar bar and build something like the JR Pro tire changer without the base. I'll just mount it to my welding table.
Anyone one else change your own tires? What do you use?
