I had one split open on the back of an 06 ultra had about 28000 miles on it. I got lucky and found the split before it caused a flat. The split was about 6 inches long and had gapped open about a half inch.
What you are describing is exactly what I saw on Fandango6's '05 Ultra when he had the flat on our recent HD Forums SW Rally.I pulled the wheel thinking that he had just got a puncture and that we could get it fixed and not spoil his trip. Turns out there was a 4 inch long split in the wheel that had caused the tube to split.

That is the one. It is the one that you have to find a special 90 degree angle tire gauge for because it has the valve stem in the middle of the wheel.

Hey bill. If you like the SG wheel, take a look of the rk custom wheel. Basically the same, except my rk custom wheel is not black. Looks great to me, or, you could have SG wheel chromed. Both look better than just the Sg wheel with the black on the indise. IMO
I have a bid on a set of SG wheels right now on E-Bay. If I get them I will decide at that time whether to get them chromed. If I don't get them, I will take a look at the RK Custom wheels.

The wife has a SG and I kinda liked the looks of her wheels is why I was leaning toward the SG wheels, but the otherswould also be an option.

Some of the custom wheels look really good, but I am just not going to spend 800 to 1,000 per wheel for a riding bike that is going to get dinged up anyway.

Bryan,

Those would work for me also. Just have to wait until I see what happens with the bid on E-Bay. I already have a bid in, and I wouldn't back out on that.
