I don't really have a problem changing tube type tires, especially the large diameter skinny ones found on the RE and dual sport bikes. They are a lot easier to get off the rim than tubeless tires. On the other hand, they can usually be plugged. The big problem for me on the Bullet is carrying all the stuff. I carry spare tubes, tools to remove the wheels, tire irons to remove and reinstall the tires, a bead breaker, some kind of mounting lubricant, and a small 12V compressor. That pretty much fills up a backpack, and the wrenches and tire irons make it heavy. I noticed that there are extra holes in the front engine mount, probably for an engine guard. Shouldn't be hard to make a mount for a tool tube to go there. I've done it on dirt bikes, that really got pounded, and they never came loose.
