So I have a 2005 Ultra with rolled chrome spoke wheels (Harley wheels - upgraded by dealer originally) with original tire size MU 85 - B16.
Is there a CT that will fit, and will it work with spoked wheels? Or do I have to have mags to make it work? Thanks in advance.....I will check for feedback.

The taxi tire will fit. The spoke wheels make it a little more challenging. You really need to find a motorcycle tube the right size for that. You may be able to use the stock tube, but probably need to find one that will work with the tire.

I've got the new frame so I'm not going to be a big help on where to get the tire.

Thanks anyway... Probably going to stay with MT and try the Michelin Commander II's for the promised extra tread life.
