Good question for whoever repairs it. Likely the tire can be reused. Just need a tube.

Plug tire, insert new tube, ride.

since you already have the wheel off, take it to an indy, they'll probably fix it while you wait.

this happened to my softail custom, 07, with only 150 miles in it... i took it into the dealer and they replaced the whole tire for free, they said they would cover it under warranty...i thought that was really cool! you might use that as leverage...?

Wow I want to go to your dealer! They sound awesome. Did you buy an extended warranty or something?

no extended warranty, it only had 150 miles on it, so they were sympathetic... i think that i just acted sad enough to get to them!
