Taking my own tips from a video I did and putting them into action. Working on a 2014 goldwing front wheel we put the tire back on. I use a bit of a different approach to stabilizing this machine for use. We run into a bit of a snag near the mid point and we go on to correct that. After experiencing good luck putting the beads back on car tires using the duck head flat I try it with a motorcycle tire and machine. Goes well on the first bead going in. Didn't go so well on the second bead as things snag nearing the end. I could see some potential damage to the rubber on the second bead and move to put the lead of the duck head under the tire and the trailing part on top of the bead to fix that snag. We also find the tire coming out of the drop centre adding to the difficulty of moving the duck head. You'll see the sidewall slide under again with help of the tire spoons. I talk about a bit of creep. That is when the tire spins while the rim is not moving. You might get some but still be able to put the tire on. This is where clamps or other tools to keep your bead from moving. I didn't have any luck with my rim clamps. I may find something better but for now I may just use tire spoons. This machine is a keeper. Hopefully we solved the stability issue some might have faced trying to keep the machine still. Be safe, remember safety equipment, enjoy.
