look at your rim, if the valve is in the dead center of the rim, then it is a center valve, if it Is offset to one side , that is a side valve ( depending what rims you have. they are probably center valves. I prefer the center metal valve. it has a nut on it to secure the tube to the rim. get new strips too. if you are not planning on running whitewalls, I would suggest the Michelin commander II's, I put them on my road king ( after numerous recommendations from seasoned riders) and love them. the tires last and perform extremely well. I ordered mine from amazon and saved a few bucks too !!

irider, I have the same question I do believe. I have a 2006 ElectraGlide Classic with the same tire sizes. I have a Dunlop D402 tire on its way from Dennis Kirk online but am not sure what size tube to get. I have the smooth spoked wheels. Dennis Kirk website says to use Dunlop 419991 but they are backordered.

Any help would be appreciated. Didn't mean to hijack your thread irider but I think we are asking the same question. Don.
