etcswjoe Posted September 3, 2022 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2022 While at Asheville a certain new Harley owner pointed out I need tires, after looking at prices I have sticker shock. I am afraid to ask but, which tires and where to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDawson Posted September 4, 2022 Share #2 Posted September 4, 2022 Now Joe, you may as well ask which oil to use too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddlebum Posted September 4, 2022 Share #6 Posted September 4, 2022 There's a liquid crisco Wish somebody told me. Having to warm it up or spoon it in is a real PITA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted September 4, 2022 Share #7 Posted September 4, 2022 If you use the solid type it won't leak so bad when it's sitting,,, at least so I have heard. And @saddlebum all you need to do to get it in the crankcase is to warm it up. On the tire question? May I suggest you get a round one with some tread left on it? It would be helpful if it held air as well I suppose. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etcswjoe Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share #15 Posted September 5, 2022 Possibility thought I had been good about checking pressure, I have been using the same tire gauge for about 10 years. Maybe I should check it against another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share #16 Posted September 26, 2022 Update on tires, I went ahead and bought the round ones, I was kind of disappointed they did not come pre-mounted and filled with air but I will take care of that tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
