1 Motorcycle Shops......most MC  rear tires are larger than our 13"  nowadaze

2  No problem!      HF  and others sell the "Tire Bead Breaker", or you drive 
up on the deflated tire and POP!

3  13  tires are almost never in need of a balance.....nowadaZe......tires 
are made by machines....tolerances are closer than ever!

OTHERWISE    HF  sells bubble balancers.....OR     a homemade disc  held up 
by a nail.....glass of water on top!    Simple but works.....and is faster than 
spinning the mounted wheel / tire and seeing if it stops in the same place  
twice!  If less than 2 OZ  of weight and, need to use 2 equal @  60 deg. 
apart.....look at your new cars / wheels....one weight, most of the time..
