FINAL UPDATE: Took bike back to local Harley shop on Saturday. They took a look and said the wheel is out of true. How? Well they said they tightened some spokes when they replaced the tube. They want $170 to true the tire and they can't get to it for a few days. The bike is now home on a trailer and hopefully I will get it to another shop on Monday to figure out the problem. My trust has evaporated at a certain shop near by.
7/14/2010 - Went back to local HD Shop and spoke to the service manager (was actually sent there to buy one part by the other tire guy). Anyway, we chatted, he acknowledged his crew made a few mistakes. He discovered that the bad tube installation was done by one of their guys so he gave me a new tire, installed it, balanced it and trued the spokes for
free. The problem was exactly as BullDog said, one of the belts in the tire was crushed when the innertube blew. You couldn't see or feel it on the outside, but if you ran your hand around the inside of the tire there was a very noticeable bulge. I'm on the road again and am much more pleased with the way the local HD shop took responsibility for something that was clearly their fault. The service manager gave me some faith in HD again.
