Has anyone used a Rabaconda tire changer? Based on reviews it looks far better than what I'm using now -- a Harbor Freight rim scratcher. RevZilla and Rocky Mountain ATV/MC sell them.

I bought one in May to change both tires before riding to Inzane '25. First time changing tires for me, so I have no point of reference. I was able to swap front and rear tires using the Rabaconda. Second tire was faster than the first. Practice makes perfect! Lots of YouTube videos showing tips and tricks.

Quite a few use them on the gl1800 riders message board and seem to receive positive reviews.

Yes I’ve been using a rabaconda for some time now, I used to race dirt bikes and it’s almost a must for installation of foam mousse in the tires I place of inner tubes , I used to race it for everything now all my street bikes that all my friends have , I think it’s about the best tire changer, I even have a hydraulic/numatic auto tire  shop changer but rather use the rabaconda, believe me you can’t go wrong, buy the rabaconda tire irons too, more the merrier
