A good thread because it makes one aware of things that may be overlooked in haste.
Chuck these things in your bag too...
Tyre pressure gauge.
Plastic zip ties.
Tire Pando.
Bike Tool kit.
Spare nuts and bolts in a plastic screwtop jar.
Electrical Tape.
Finger nail cutters..(also handy for stripping/cutting thin wire).

Bought new tires a week ago but have not installed yet. Going to try a Michelin Commander II 140/75/17 on the front. Hope I like it.

I went with the commander II front and rear this time on mine Mully. Used @Fingers bias ply setup. 180/65 rear and 130/90 front.

Really like it so far. The narrower front tire makes the bike feel like it is 100 pounds lighter.

I run Commander II's on the Ultra Classic. Pretty good tire. Have +/- 20k on them now, but about time for a new one. Never tried it on a rocket

Anybody has a good link for the place where you get the tires cheaper than the dealer?
