Having trouble finding a tube:

I am mounting a 205-65-15 on a VTX 1300s and I need to know what size tube to use, I have the tire and wheel at a Honda dealer, they will mount the tire for me but they want me to get a tube, and I don't know what size I should get. They have the old tire off but will not install the new tire with out a new tube. They say a stock tube is to small. Anyone got any ideas.

Use the stock Honda motorcycle tube!

Thanks for your in put, that is what I thought also, when you hold the tires up next to each other there is not that much differance in them, put the Honda dealer said no. Maybe I should get the tire and rim and see if I can find someone else to mount the stock sized tube.

Yeah, check around you will find someone to mount it, as was said earlier.. the stock tube works perfectly.. I am running a Hydroedge 205/70R15 on a spoke rim with tube and it works like a charm..
