Needs help
I own a 2009 Ultra Classic with only 950 miles on it. I have a nail in the rear tire. Can it be patched Or do I have to buy a new tire? I'm thinking about putting a tube in it.

Had the same issue with my new 03 Venture, only had about 200 miles on it. Patched and tubed her and she lasted until I changed the tires at 13K miles.

Depends on how low the pressure got in the tire, and how long you rode at the lower pressure. I had one (on a cage) that picked up a screw, and went down about 50% in air pressure. When we popped it off the rim, there was at least two cups of tire rubber in a pretty fine powder inside the tire. That was apparently the sidewall disintegerating. Needed a new tire on that one.
