Default Ordering tire online need help

Ok gents ordering tire online for 96 springer softail. I'm pretty sure it's still stick rim. So it's spoke. Looking at tubes what the hell does side valve stem and center. This is my rear. I want to make sure order right tube and right tire strap. Thanks

Just look at your rear wheel , the valve stem will either be between the spokes in the same direction as the spokes toward the axle or it will come out the side of the rim.

Also, probably not an issue but, be sure to order a tube that has the threaded valve stem. Many flats have occurred from the tube experiencing movement on the rim under hard acceleration. I had a Kawasaki Z1R years ago and after a few rear tire flats figured out that it wasn't the tire spinning on the rim. It was the tube. The tube can move just enough to cut the valve stem. That wont happen with the threaded valve stem.

Got the same bike as you. Just got a rear tire on line from a place in, I think Colorado last Oct.. Sorry about this mental problem, but can't remember the exact name. Something like Mountain atv. Not sure, but great price, and really fast delivery(also free). Don't forget to order the spoke protector thingy. Also I got some "Ride-on" balancing goop . Seems to work well.
