Anyone used or seen in person the cycle hill changer?
Supposed to be made by no-mar, but cheaper. Like the "economy" version of a no-mar.

I'm trying to decide what I want to do, since the Jap dealers won't touch buell rims, and the buell dealer is 90 miles away, it's a 3 day turn around if they pick up and deliver...

I think bolting it to the lift will work great. Then I can have it at either ground level or raised up. Of coarse will need to position it so u can use it and still have a bike on the lift. Ya know the one missing a rim or two.
Yep, that's the one. It's the top part only without the bead breaker, stand, etc...

Yeah, but better than the $900 + for a nomar. and if you just get the changer it's less.

So, what do you do for breaking the bead then AL? and I'm guessing you just made your own stand then?

Huh? Oh no, here's the set-up.

Tire Changer $49
Motorcycle kit $59
Balancer $59
Tire Iron $6
Rim Savers $15
Mojo Blocks $30

I got 20% off the HF stuff, so I have maybe $200 total involved on everything. Well worth it and I have zero scratches.

So you do need both the top (tire changer) and the bottom (bead breaker).

Yes, the bottom is a tire changer for regular tires and the top is an adapter so you can change mc tires. I'm sure that you could come up with something for the stand and bead breakers are sold separately but for $49, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just buy theirs...
