I've been asked about the difficulty of changing my tire and rim on my custom Honda VTX1300 in case of a flat. Most sites will tell you it's a two man job, but as you can see in my video, one guy can handle it just fine.

With the proper tools, a shop manual for torque specs, the bike secured safely, and a couple of cold ones on the shelf, the tire practically changes itself. This video is not a step by step howto video, rather an overview of what to expect. There are a lot of variances on custom bikes, so your setup and procedure, though similar, will undoubtedly be somewhat different.

If you find this video useful, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel, it really helps.

The intro to the video, as well as the burning shop manual were done using Adobe After Effects. The turning motorcycle animation at the end was created using 3D Studio Max. I hope to create a new channel very soon dedicated to Adobe After Effects and Film making, so stay tuned for that.
