Fitted new rubber to the rims.

Decided to go with Dunlop 605s front and back.

It felt like the right choice for this bike and were really the only choice given the correct size DOT approved options available to choose from from the retail supplier at an budget minded price.

Researched whether the yellow spot on the tire was placed near the valve for balancing which was the case for Dunlop. So made the effort to try and and achieve the result.

Would like to have said they went on without issue but I pinched my first HD rear inner tube and decided to not risk a failed patch job on new rubber.

Probably wouldn't have ruined the tube if I didn't fit rim locks.

just used a ebay set of tyre/tire levers to get the job done and personally would not like to have to do it again anytime soon.
