I have an 06 WideGlide and am gathering items to change the front tire. I have everything but the tube and rim strip. Question is What size is the tube? I have seen 2.75 x 21 and 3.25 x 21.
Thanks!

 

TM, I think it is going to depend on what tire you have.

Your dealer should have that kinda stuff in stock.

Tire is the stock Dunlop MH90/21. I have seen tubes on the web for $9 to $15, dealer wants $25 so trying to avoid him if possible.

 

TM, that MH90 is probably a 2.75.
DoubleCheck me on that.

Hey those cheap tubes.

Old friend of mine, we were talking tires just today.
He brought me a big old pocketknife.

But anyway, I asked him what kinda tires those were
that he was runnin on his chopper back in the seventies.

They were the baddest *** tires I think I've ever seen.

He proceeded to tell me the story why he bought those tires.

He was ridin an all out stroked and cammed ShovelHead
that was kickin just about anybody and everybodies ***.

He said one day he got on the interstate and was really nailin it hard,
and at about 60-70 the front tire blew and he couldn't hit the brakes cause
the front tire was gone and he couldn't hit the rear cause he was draggin
his feet to keep from goin over.

Bout halfway in to all this he notices a huge dump truck in the next lane.

Said he thought about doin an Indiana Jones and jumpin on.

Put the machine up for sale for about a year, and nobody could afford it.

So by then he said his nutz had grown back,
and that's when he got those badass tires.

He couldn't remember for sure,
said they mighta been Carlisles.

Next time you're cruising along 60-70 have a look down
at those two little rubbercontact points that are
keepin you off the pavement.

Excellent point! I will stop by the dealer on the way home. It is a 2.75, JP Cycles has a chart for this on there web site.
