Thank you to everyone that replied.I was given a rear wheel from a 2005 RSTD about a year ago and was wondering.I have a car tire on the bike now/with sidecar and wanted to mount a mc tire on the wheel to use when the sidecar is removed(temporary).I love the sidecar so it will not be off very long so thanks again for all the replies.

Gerald,

 

What you are considering with the spare wheel is a very good idea. And you just stirred up another consideration that you and some of our other sidecar rigs might also consider. And that is to also change your final drive to one from a V-Max. For the 1st Gen's, this is an easy swap, but for those with a 2nd gen you would have to get one from Thurber that has the speedo mounting hole.

 

In 1990 I had a Flexit from California Sidecar and I kept a V-Max final drive on the shelf for when I had the car mounted. It sure made starts in 1st gear much better and overall the lower gearing worked just perfect with the car. In fact I got so good switching them with the bike on the center stand and not completely removing the wheel. Just dropped it to the ground on the right side, pulled the final drive and stabbed the other drive.
