DIY: How to change a harley davidson motorcycle tire from Demon’s Cycle

So how does the do it yourself craftsman change a tire on a Harley Davidson motorcycle? First you need to make sure you have the right tools.

• Valve Core
• Tire Iron
• Bead Breaker
• Air Pump
• Silicone Lubricant (Spray)
• Breezer Tire Tool

Step 1:

Using the valve core begin to let the remaining air out of the tire.

Step 2:

Use the bead breaker to break the seal of the tire and the rim. Gently insert the breaker between the tire and the rim to force a wedge until you hear a POP indicating the seal is broken. Then begin to separate the tire from the rim without doing any damage.

Step 3:

Lubricate the tire with the spray so that you have less resistance as you begin to remove it from the wheel. The silicone spray should be sprayed on the tire bead so that you can easily remove the tire with the tire iron.

Step 4:

As you go to put the new tire on make sure that you thoroughly lubricate the inner walls to allow for easier fitting. Then line it up with the wheel so that the valve stem is in the right location.

Step 5:

Simply reverse the process of what you did before. Using the tire iron, push the tire into the rim until it is in all the way around. Then you want to fill it up with air but not all the way. Take the breezer tool and rotate the bead into the edges of the rim so that you have a firm grip all around. Again make sure you aren't forcing anything and you do not cause damage to the rim.

Then slowly fill the tire up with air until it is at the right level. Listen closely for any leaks and if everything sounds good put the wheel back on your Harley and take it for a short test ride. Then check the air pressure and if everything has remained the same you can take it out for a longer ride. Then test it one more time and if everything looks good you know that you are good to go.

It may seem like a little bit of work just to change a motorcycle tire on your Harley Davidson but remember the main motivation for a DIY project is to save money. That's your real goal, to save money and accomplish something on your own. That's what makes do it yourself projects fun.

Demon’s Cycle Has The Best Selection Of Custom Motorcycle Handlebars And Here’s Why

Demon’s Cycle has been around for over 20 years and is one of the leading distributors of custom Harley Davidson handlebars in the world. From a consumer standpoint the best company to shop for isn’t often the one with the most expensive or cheapest items. It’s that one in the middle that has more experience, better selections and reasonable prices. Big corporations cannot be “experts” because they are so diversified but a smaller company that has the cheapest prices often has to cut corners to accomplish this, usually in prices and service.

So how can you be the best if you aren’t the most expensive or the cheapest? Easy, be the best at everything. Demon’s Cycle doesn’t sell cheap, they sell quality. They do not sell overpriced, they sell what you need and want for your bike. They are not a one hit wonder like some others because they know that no two motorcycle riders are the same.

But to be the best you also have to go the extra mile and that’s why Demon’s Cycle now offers a vast selection of handlebars for Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Triumph and Victory motorcycles as well. Here are just a few of the custom options motorcyclists have to pick from:

1.      T-Bars: The traditional, never over the top but always reliable T-bars. For most riders this is what you used when you started riding a motorcycle as it gives you more control of the bike with less effort.

2.      Ape Hangers: While there are no distinct differences when it comes to the handling of a motorcycle between T-bars and ape hangers, apes give you the ability to sit up more when you are riding, a huge difference for some, especially if you are used to taking longer rides.

3.      Z-bars: The crazier of the designs, this style will certainly turn heads and have people checking out your custom cycle. If you want to be different, if you want to have a style that is unique for your bike and you do not want to pay over the top then Z bars are worth a look.

Isn’t that the point of searching for the right company to buy from? It doesn’t matter if you are doing a custom build, repair work or simply want to change up your bars, you want the best selection and quality at fair prices but you also want more than that, you want experience and service. That’s why the place to shop for all your Harley Davidson parts needs and especially for new motorcycle handlebars is Demon’s Cycle.

Ask Twice Order Once For Custom Harley Davidson Motorcycle Parts

Doing a custom bike build this year or maybe something simple like replacing the handlebars on your Harley? It really doesn’t matter, the rules are the same when you are ordering custom Harley Davidson parts, ask questions. Ask them to the seller, ask them to mechanics, ask them to bike enthusiasts and even ask yourself. Make a list of everything you need to check and double check before you place the order to avoid making mistakes that will cost you time and money. Here are just a few questions you need to ask before you click ‘Buy Now’

 

1.       Is it the right size? Have you measured everything, have you taken everything into consideration and will it fit? Double check this because if you order the wrong size part you will have to ship it back and pay a restocking fee. Also keep in mind the extra space something may need, for example handlebars. When you are ordering custom handlebars for your Harley Davidson it’s not just about the size you need, it’s also about the size that will fit your bike as far as clearance. Triple check all measurements before you order.

2.       Right type of part: Will this fit a softail from a certain year? Will it fit this model bike from this year? Will it work with the parts I have on it? It seems like a lot of questions but they are all important to ask. Understand that parts are not universal. Harley Davidson does not make a part that goes on every single one of their bikes and works with every single part ever made. That’s why you need to make sure you ask the annoying questions to be sure that the parts you are looking to buy are compatible with your motorcycle.

3.       Other options: Another reason you should talk to a company before making a purchase is that you never know if they have something else in stock, something similar to what you are looking for but it is available for a lot less. It could be something as simple as a headlight and the one you find online is offered for $115 but the store has one similar in design, just a different manufacturer and it’s available for $85. Doesn’t seem like a lot but if you need to make a lot of orders because you are doing a custom build it will add up.

4.       New or used? Sometimes we look for the cheapest deal, especially when we are on EBay or Amazon. When you find a great deal don’t be in a rush to buy it, sometimes the part you see is actually used or scratched up. If that doesn’t bother you then go ahead and buy it but if you are expecting something new and you see a really cheap deal on it you may need to read the page a little more carefully.

5.       Shipping: Often times the best deals on custom Harley Davidson motorcycle parts can be found online but when you are ordering online you need to know what to expect with shipping, especially when you can expect it to arrive. If the shop you are buying from is in Florida and you live in Georgia that’s not an issue. However, if you live in Hawaii you will have to wait a bit longer. So make sure you understand how long you will have to wait to receive what you ordered.

 

As you are looking for great deals online you may find yourself in a rush to make a purchase. Don’t rush, that’s when you make mistakes and don’t be afraid to call or email the company up and ask questions. A custom Harley Davidson parts distributor has to deal with hundreds of mistakes made on orders a week so calling or emailing them to ask a few questions to prevent making mistakes will be like music to their ears.
