Hey guys,
I need to change the rear tire... This bike has a non stock exhaust (Cobra 4-4) and a non stock wheel... Myself and a couple of friends tried to find a way to get the rear wheel off the ground, but without a center stand we've had no luck so far...
Anyone have experience doing this without a hoist? Perhaps some kind of clever work-around, a way to use a jack or other?
Also this wheel/tire is a 180/55 R18... And although it seems centered the contact area seems to be decidedly off to the left side of the tire...by at least an inch...
Could anyone shed some light on why that would be if the tire is centered or appears to be centered? Is there any way to correct this? Or is this just how the tire tracks when an over-sized wheel/tire is installed?
