Default Nightster front wheel/tire diameter?

Could someone measurethe diameter of the front (19") Wheel,with thetire? Stock size.
What I mean is from the ground to the top of the top of the front tire.

I'm heading south to pick up the bike, and i'm trying to set up a wheel chaulk in my trailer, can't find this measurement anywhere.

Thanks.

Nonstop, do an internet search for speed calculators or some such thing. I've used them in the past to check speed on my hot rod. IIRC, you put in the tire size and it gives diameter. wish I could be more help. Dan

Thanks Dan,
Havn't been able to find one that will do a calculation for a 100/90/19 tire.

Anyone have a tape measure?

Nonstop, when I get off work today i'll measure the tire for you. So I'm correct, you only want a measurement across the outter tread of the tire to the other side-diameter of the whole thing??? I'll be home around six tonight and get this done soon after. Dan

That would be great Dan..Thanks

I'd like the measurement from the top of the tire to the ground. So, over all diameter of wheel, and tire.

As mentioned before I'm putting a wheel chaulk in the trailer, and would like to be able to butt the tire in the chaulk, and up against the frame of the trailer.

IfI canfigure out how to shrink pictures to post here, i'd show you a pick of what i have going on.

Mine measures about 26.25". I guess it would be a bit less when the treads worn out.

Measured of the bike. This should be accurate.

Thanks fellas for taking the time out .

If it's not too much trouble, could I get another measurement, or....two?

Over all tire(front)width, at it's widest point? I think this is the 100 mm in the tire size,(On the HD site),but what's that in english? Even our Canadian measuring tapes are in english. Hmmm... should be able to convert that on the net.

Could someone correct me if i'm wrong?
