My biggest is 18" and there still 'outward' adjustment holes.
Building My own MoJo lever.

Good to Know Phil. thank you sir! I would figure I will be OK with the 21 inch then.
probably won't be getting the top fixture (motorcycle adapter) till next month.
You know, I heard the new motorcycle adapter is sloppier than the old ones.
guys were saying they were shimming the sliding parts.
I plan on making my own Mo jo blocks.

I got some grade 8 bolts that I use as the 'retaining pins' - the one that hangs out near the bead breaker makes an awful good catch for the handle when you are moving the rim around to get another 'bite'. ;-)
Scootac and I shoe-horned a pair of Bridgestone T30 tires on his ST1300 the other day. After the struggle I realized NoMar doesn't make tire changing equipment. They make exercise machines thinly disguised as tire changers though.

Ain't it the truth! Maybe we can start a 'gym' program where people pay us to allow them to install our tires in order to get a proper 'work out' ...
Great idea Phil.

will sell just the ends for $25.00 shipped if you wanted to go that route.
mine probably will not be as nice as the one you can buy, but I have more time than money,
So I will make do with it,

Here is what I came up with on the dismount end.
If I can find a correct size pipe, the steel stock will be welded into the correct size pipe.
If I had a 3 foot long piece of 3/4 stock, that would be nice too, I could drill a 3/4" hole into a piece of 3/4" square stock, to form my mount end.
But I don't think a 3/4" steel stock will pass through my spindle.
That is the trouble with that lathe.
Now, I don't know yet, but I may end up with a dis mount bar,
AND a Mount bar. Don't matter to me.

Nice work....I'm getting inspired here! I had thought of this, but other projects beckoned. I used a recip saw to get my last tire off, and tie-wraps to mount it. Worked ok, but I'd love to give this a go.
Thanks for the ideas!

I actually use the HF bar as my 'dismount' and the MoJo as the amount after I broke the MoJo tip off on a BT020. ;-)

well, this is a crappy picture, but it's about a 30" or so long piece of 1/2 inside diameter black pipe. I machined down the piece above to press fit inside the black pipe, and pinned it with 2, 3/16" roll pins.
I am quite happy with the way it turned out though.
Did not do nothing with the mount end yet.
that is next.
some little better pictures.
Still have to get another roll pin for the front hole.
