That's a good deal!

I bolted mine to my concrete patio. I have some extra anchors to put in the concrete if anyone wants some. It only takes 3. Anyone can PM with their mailing address and I'll shoot 3 out to you in the mail for as long as they last. I put the anchors in the concrete, then put short bolts in them to keep crap from collecting in there and gunking things up until they are needed. I can't imagine trying to use it without it being firmly anchored down.

I boughy my balancer here: Marc Parnes

I bought my wheel weights here: Aerostitch

Oldfatguy I just purchased the tire changer and the motorcycle tire add on at Harbor Freight for $60. I used the 20% off coupon that came in an email ad and purchased each piece individually. Did you bolt the unit down to the floor or a piece of plywood? It seems like it would work better if bolted to something. Also, where did you purchase the balancer and the weights?

Buy my tires from MAW http://www.accwhse.com/ and change my tires at the hobby shop at the air base for $1.25 on the semi-automatic tire change machine.

what type of adapter is required for a motorcycle tire compared to a regular tire? I've been changing my own car tires and balancing them for years. I've never changed one of my own bike tires, and unfortunately I doubt I can just get an adapter and use a professional car tire machine I have access to, or can I?
