[QUOTE="highbury731, post: 111744, member: 1557"] I have a set of RoadRiders on my Norton Dominator. They have the molded pattern inside. I didn't find any label inside them. I just used regular inner tubes. The hard part of fitting the tyres was caused by the 'security bolts' front and rear. I have done a couple of thousand miles on them, no problems so far. They are a bit fatter than original tyres, and the tread pattern is out of keeping with the bike. I prefer to be safe on modern tyres than go 'period' and use SM + Speedmaster, or TT100 for that matter. It's not a show bike I don't like the idea of using lots of chalk, it will get damp and cause problems. Professional tyre fitters have told me that they use Fairy Liquid (a concentrated dish-wash detergent) as a tyre fitting lube - if a 'professional' tyre fitter uses detergent, take your tyres elsewhere..... I use liquid soap as a lubricant for tyre fitting, as it will wash away and does not affect rubber. FWIW when I got the Norton, the inside of the rims were rusty, so I wire-brushed and painted them. Years later, no sign of rust inside the rims at all. Paul [/QUOTE]
