RE: Flat Tire!!! Now what???
I'm sorry about your tire problem!! I had 2 flat rear tires in the last 6 months. If you had the tire protection when you purchased your bike, everything wouldhave beenfree. Both times. They towed my bike back to the shop and put a brand new tire on it at no cost. The price of the tire protection program? 300 bucks. Whenever you buy a Harley, get the maintance and tire protection program. It's worth it. When all this stuff ends in another year, I'm working on the bike myself.

The back tire is the tuff one to remove because on some models the exhaust has to be removed in order to get the axle out, great design H/D.
Buy a jack the front is easy, look at the wheel spacers as you take them off, a manual is a great ideal also.
Sooner or later you are going to have to do some of your own maintance anyway, the front wheel will be an easy accomplishment for you.

well i finally got my floor jack today. Tomorrow i plan to pull the wheel and get it fixed so i can get back on the road. I checked the manual but didnt find anything about removing a wheel. Anyone have further advice before I tackle this? I hope it isn';t too complicated
