Skunkape and Uncle Phil, the Coats and Atlas look great, but I already can't affored the darn tires, so I better find a cheaper colution .

Thank you for the welcome fnmag. Actually I was quite active here in the 2010 to 2013 time frame, got my 06 in 09 with 6K miles on it, and I went on a couple STOC rides in the West Texas (Big Bend) and New Mexico area. At the time my living situation did not provide a place to keep the bike at my house, and it went into storage, and by the time I bought my house, it had developed problems with too old gas. It's taken a while but I'm about done with my big garage workshop project and will have a good place to tear it down and fix it. Some people would hate the prospect, I am itching to start. Love working on the bikes if I have the space and time.Welcome to the forum Jim.
As you can see by the above posts, there is a wealth of information to be had on this site.
SMSW, how do you guys search Craigslist sites all over the country like that? I have to specify the city, and at that can only do pretty local cities.There are two on Craigslist now.....one in Bend, Or; and one sold recently in Bozeman, Montana (that's the second). Regarding your link to the Weaver company, forget the tire machines, I like the idea of a car rotisserie.

Not a problem. I just went through and posted links to all the stuff I have collected over the years. The only thing I didn't post links to was the spoons. Some are pretty basic. There is one that I have that is a little unique but I have no idea where I bought it as it was about 10 years ago. What I have works for me and I have changed a lot of tires over the years. Not only on my bike but for others around here.Dang, sennister, that's what I call a complete answer. Can you wash and wax her too, and maybe give my Oleanders a little watering?
Thanks very much sir. Where are you seeing No-Mar kits for $399? I have not found a deal like that.
Thanks
Jim
The Coats 220 is a small very stout manual unit, not air or electric. The day after I originally posted there was one on either Craigslist or FB for $350. I also have the mounting bar for the No Mar and the Coats one works 10,000 time better.Skunkape and Uncle Phil, the Coats and Atlas look great, but I already can't affored the darn tires, so I better find a cheaper colution .
Google "search all craigslist" and you will get several hits. searchcraigslist.org, searchtempest.com, onecraigs.com, etc. Some allow you to search the whole country at once, some by state. Try several and see which one works for you. I remember one called allcraigslist.com(?) but it does not appear on page one of my search any more. Regardless, I did that search for the engines only a few days ago and it went very quickly. One caveat, sorting through the ads sometimes leads to 'ad withdrawn' (usually when you find exactly what you are looking for, but before you call up the whole ad') and some other dead ends.SMSW, how do you guys search Craigslist sites all over the country like that?
