The ride-on theory seems solid. Easy enough to dismount the tire, wash it out, and closely inspect for internal damage...or remount and check for leaks.
im ordering a new front now. i will have the indy hold the tire for me to inspect. if you look at the video of the front, there other parts of the tire that are bubbling. i think it is breaking down on the inside. that tire is toast and i failed tclocs... http://www.msf-usa.org/downloads/t-c..._checklist.pdf

My friend, you have dodged so many bullets this last 12 months; you've either got the best luck ever or the worst luck ever, I'm not sure which it is

I'm pleased the Ride On kept you whole; good stuff, glad you're running it!

Testify, brother! I love that pink goop and I am so pleased you're running it, too

Yea, your Wide Glide is in a no ride condition with that tire, glad you've got a new Night Dragon on the way, that tire on your beastie was gone. I hope this solves your problem once and for all and get's your long ride bike back again

Maybe I missed it, but how many miles were on your tires?

Anybody use Ride On with tubes?
