The biggest problem of changing a tire on a harley is not the act of getting the wheel off the bike but breaking the tire bead from the rim. Once you get the bead broken then its pretty easy to change one as long as you have a couple of good tire irons and some dish soap(a must have)for lube to get it on. I always took my wheels to a tire place to get them to break the bead then do the rest myself. now if you were stuck in the middle of nowhere I dont know how you'd do it. maybe a couple of you standing on the tire may break it but I have never succeeded and I have done quite a few harley tires.
