No-Mar tire changer. I opted for the receiver hitch mount only because my garage has no available floor space. Once I get rid of one more motorcycle I am going to order the floor mount stand. Too many motorcycles in the way right now.:banghead I know tough problem to have. I sold the wifes '08 Ninja 250 last weekend, it had 116 miles on it after 15 months. She was not riding it so it had to go. The dirtbike is next to go. Weather has been terrible this weekend so I have not had a chance to throw it on the truck receiver and see how it works. I have a trackday right around the corner in March so I need to mount up new tires on the 600 and the B-King needs a new rear,,,again
I have wanted one for some time now but something always came up and sidetracked me, not this time. They have some good deals right now. Free shipping is good plus the ultimate packages you get the balancer. I know it will probably not work as easy as their videos show it to.
Me too I have looked at them for years now. I always wandered by their diplays at the races and stared in amazement.
Well I could bring it to the track with this setup. Not too sure how well that would go over with the tire vendors on site. Plus it could grow legs and walk away if ya know what I mean.
For me it will pay off in no time. I spent/wasted over $200 in mounting fees last year at the track alone. I also had a front rotor bent by a moron at a local dealership while having tires installed on my Bandit 1250.
Well the weather cleared a bit today so I took it out and placed it in the trucks receiver mount. I did not use it just wanted to look at it. It is too cold for changing a tire right now plus I am in a lazy mood today.
It is going to work just fine. It was a little low due to the truck being on the drive way and the garage floor is higher. I can solve that by doing it on the driveway or backing the truck into the garage more. I am happy with it. Thought I would never say this but I am looking forward to mounting a tire with it. According to them it can also be used on my motard wheels without the optional dirtbike wheel clamp set that they sell.

Congrats! Money well sent. I've had mine for about four years, awesome tool. " Hell" I can scratch my wheels just as well as the dealership, but won't feel so bad. Just won't have to pay them anymore. I love it.
I've always prefered the hunter machines over the coats because they have the air over hydro rollers to break the bead loose. If you cant use this machine with only two finger you are a retard. it'll even pick the wheel and tire up off of the floor for you. but it has the leg eater shovel should you absolutely need it.

My friend has one just like that but he bolted it down to the floor. I have to say its a very sweet tool. Watch the video over and over again and you'll get really good soon.
I have been watching their videos for about a year now:wacky It comes with a DVD which I watched yesterday. The women changing the tire even makes it look easy.
Weight scapper, suppose to ease removal of stuck on weights with no scratching.
A box of black wheel weights. The machine came with a box of silver weighs but I prefer black on my street bike wheels. I will use the silver on my trackbike.

When I've had to use the hitch mounted No-Mar I've jacked the receiver up just an inch or two and threw a stack of boards underneath. This gives a much more solid platform to work on.
No Mar customer service is great. Saw them at V.I.R. once, told them I had one. They gave me 5 new pry bar tips and pry bar handle, no charge. Way cool! :clapper :notworthy :rockon :woot:
i'm very interested in the no-mar pro model,but the affordability of the jr pro is in the budget...... what model are you guys using? saw these guys @ barber, it is just slick.....cool products.....:twocents
I got around to using the tire changer for the 1st time this weekend. I love it! Even my litlle butt can change a tire by himself. Front was super easy, rear was a little tougher. I watched the videos a few times and it all made more sense. It is all about technique and using plenty of lube paste on the tire. Race tires are usually tougher to mount than street tires so if I can mount race tires I feel very confident on my street tires. The receive hitch mount worked very good, love that feature. The yellow thing tool is a must have item on a rear tire. Their balancer works nice. Money well spent
I think some of the low profile, sport touring tires are the toughest. Like a Metzeler Z6. That tire gave us fits even with the No-Mar. In contrast we never used anything but lube to mount Pilot Powers. I mean nothing. No machine or irons, just our hands.
