I don't have any pictures of mounting the tires because I was busy cussing and screaming. I used three tire spoons, some Ru-Glyde tire lube, baby powder and two Bead Buddies. Again, like the wheels, the first one took forever. After I was done, I aired it up and heard the dreaded "hisssss"...pinched the tube. Ugh. Second try went much easier and the rear tire was cake.
Tips:
1. Apply liberal amounts of baby powder to your inner tube, don't be shy. On one of them I put a little air in the tube to give it some form, but I don't know if it made a difference or not.
2. Make sure that wherever you start tucking in the sidewall, that opposite of that, the tire bead is on the inner recessed portion of the wheel. It gives you just a little more clearance on the part you're working on.
3. Use all of your spoons. I think three is good number, but if I had a fourth I would have used it. Apply lube where you are using the spoons.
4. I knelt down and used my knees to force down the side of the tire I was working on.
5. As you work your way around, keep an eye of your valve stem, adjust it to keep it straight.
6. Small chunks at a time and don't jam those spoons in too deep or you will pinch the tube.
I'm confident doing this now. Just like the wheels there's a learning curve. I bought some removable spoke weights, put the wheel/tire back on the stand and balanced them. The rear needed almost nothing and the front needed a couple. Balancing is pretty easy if you've done your work up to this point.
Still waiting on the swing arm from Hondaman, so I'm moving on to paint and body work.
