F6B Rear tire change
Andy Cote:
I was anxious but on the Wing I tried the laydown approach. Easy, almost as fast as NASCAR. Well, maybe a bit longer than those guys but still pretty simple.
I have a table BTW and I think this is faster.
One friend has pit bull lift and he goes up on that and straight down and out. Another removes the fender and amp and goes out the back.
You (or he) will find one approach that you like.

I have an F6B. Removing the wheel is much easier than my Valkyrie. Remove 4 screws and the back of the rear fender pops off. The audio amp is in the way but that comes out easily. Then the wheel just rolls out the back.
Now you're talking :cooldude: ... I have a 2014 Valkyrie with a different
subframe than a wing or f6b. I took the fender and subframe off when I
installed my Corbin bags. It is way more than "four screws" to get a
2014 Valkyrie wheel to roll out the back... I never woulda thought
you guys had that luxury...

The tire change was a breeze, it took longer to secure the bike to a jack and lift it into the air than it did to remove the wheel.
I wish that our 1500 Valkyries were that easy.
We could have done it on the back stand, but putting on a jack let us get the tire out without removing the lower part of the fender.

Didja jack it up on the headers or belly pan? ;) :angel:
