Has anyone actually changed their own GS1200 tires on these nasty rims! They are really hard to work with, I've found. Traveling "far into the wilderness", has me wondering if its possible to do your own tires out there(Alaska,etc.)? I use my own tire machine at home, but have tried to do the tires with irons, before I got the changer. Found it near impossible! What irons work, "if any" and a bead breaker too...My Aerostitch Wedge and hammer do not work well at all, either. A real(portable) bead breaker is required, imo...Maybe some really long irons will work, but this gets to be rediculous for packing, carrying too much tire changing stuff. Any choices, other than a shop along the route, which are few in some areas! Randy...PS; I sure would LOVE to see a demo seminar at the rallies for this kind of tire changing. The spoke, tubeless rims are a very tough nut to crack, imo....
