Default General Tire Question

I install the designated front tire on my softtail rear wheel without any problems?

I bought the correct rear tire for those interested.
New question however, mechanic installed the front tire backwards on the 2007 Ultra. Some of you maybe aware the brake discs up front are handed and labeled backwards by some opinions. Anyway, the question is does it hurt anything to run the wheel backward? The tire is rotating the proper way, but the discs have the slots running backward (the valve stem is on the left side instead of the right side.

Ferric... no answer possibly because you are in one of the "selling/classifieds" forums. You might want to try the main touring forum.

Try picking the right group from here.

Thanks kkinderen. I didn't realize I was in the classified forum. I reposted in the touring forum.
