I just bought a 2004 heritage softail. This is my first Harley!I am tire stupid and would like some help. The bike is stock, so it needs a D402F MT90B16 front tire. What size tube do I need and what size rim strip do I need? Thanks,

You should need a:

1. 5.10-16" tube
2. 16" rim strip, side valve
