I'm putting two new tires on my Road King Classic and would like to replace the inner tubes as well, is there a specific brand you only use?

Don't be cheap on tubes. The difference in cost between IRC and Michelin tubes isn't that much. I just put a new Metzeler tire on my old Suzuki "Water Buffalo" and I used a Metzeler tube. Replace the rim strip too.

Huge old debate. I buy a quality brand name tube and rim strip every tire change.

I have not seen a better quality tube and liner for our 'Kings than the Dunlops.
Keep the old tube for a "Cooler Tube", great for tubing a river with a 12 pack cooler attached to your personal tube with a yahoo rope.
Seriously, quality thick tube...

For me it's Michelin or Dunlop tubes. Don't like skimping on safety items.
