Hello Bruce, I had the optional Original Continental Tire on the rear of a 1965 SCAT. It had the Black Rubber Valve Stem and Goodyear Tube. Being that it was an option not stock on the Scat, don't know if that info. answers any questions. And that Scat had about 5k miles, so don't know if the tube was a replacement? ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Thanks but what i am looking for is someone who has had an original rear. I have one reliable source that pulled a Continental brass stem tube out of one. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- If you zoom in on the Factory pic in the Pohlman Gallery, you can see the front stem easily. Black rubber with a black valve stem cap (with tool) I zoomed in on the rear wheel, but the sprocket in the pic is hiding the valve stem. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I know the front tube is a rubber stem goodyear branded tube, because i found one last year. Not entirely sure about the continental tube, if you zoom in on the bob warder ranger pic it seems to have a black rubber stem for the rear as well. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Can anyone out there who has had an original Ranger back wheel tell me what kind of tube it had in it. I can't tell from any of the original pictures i have seen. It could be a straight steal/brass stem or the rubber style used by Harley in the 60's. One opinion is that it was a brass stem Continental tube. I would like to get it right. Bruce Mackenzie 815-766-1012 www.harleyrestoration.com
