61050009 Rim strip 16 & 17 inch

The Heidenau rim strip is a vital protective component for Harley-Davidson motorcycles equipped with spoke wheels. Designed to fit both 16-inch and 17-inch diameter rims, this durable rubber strip sits between the inner tube and the rim bed. Its primary function is to shield the tube from potential punctures or abrasions caused by protruding spoke nipples and rough metal edges inside the wheel. Ensuring a smooth surface for the tube to rest against, this strip helps prevent slow leaks and sudden failures during operation. Heidenau’s reputation for reliable tire accessories makes this an essential part of any tire change or wheel rebuild project.
