Anyone know if its possible to change the rear without having to take off the tow bar?
Honda are usually quite sensible in that regard just not done it before and it looks a bit snug!

Tow bar...you mean like a hitch, for towing? If that's the case, that's an aftermarket piece, so Honda had nothing to do with its design.
If you can get your bike up in the air high enough, you should be able to drop the rear wheel straight out the bottom without removing a hitch assembly.

Re: Two bar tyre chane
I just did my rear wheel and Admin is correct. I used a M/C jack and lifted the bike all the way up. Didn't have to take the tow hitch off. I put some boards under the tire and pulled them out one at a time till the tire was on the floor. Leaned the wheel to the left and slid it out from under the bike on the right side.
