Review on Motion Pro 08 0471 Bead Buddy by Suhas Carney

Repair, not restoration, of a 44 year old Yamaha test bike. Everything original. I bought this bike new in 1974. Both tires looked good but up close they were dry and cracked. I had to replace them. In my whole life I have changed a motorcycle tire maybe 5 times. I have simple tire changers. Remembering they were a pain, I bought the best tire spoons and this Bead Buddy. The reviews were so overwhelming I had to have it. If $15 makes changing tires easier now and in the future, do it. Well I've changed tires, tubes and rim tape just fine, but the bead partner didn't seem to help much. I'm sure I must have used it wrong or something. I watched all the commercials, but I didn't have to. The 3 tire scoops were the BOMB. Much better than the 2 small mounts I've used in the past. The $25 Dr.Roc 14.5" 3 Spoon Spoon Set made a world of difference. That 3 hoop spoon is key.
