Concerning the tire mounting equipment... I would imagine that the stand and whatnot comes with the proper tire-iron(s) and bead-breaker. So the only other things you would need are an air compressor, valve-stem tool, and an inexpensive paint brush. Get yourself a small can of some sort and fill it with a liquid soap and water solution (about 30/60 mixture) and use the paint brush to wipe that on the tire beads before mounting. That's about all there is to it in the way of tools. If you can get a bubble-balancer for motorcycle tires that would definitely be worth it also, as even after you save the money mounting your own tires you'd have to have them balanced. Of course if you did get the balancer you'd need some wheel-weights. All of the above mentioned can be had through "Harbor Freight" or a similar store/catalog.
