This doesn't apply to Sportsters but the mystique surrounding the use of taper based tires/ rims apparently centered around 18" and 19" rear tires. At this time, the wiki needs to find Harley Service Bulletin M-731 dated 6/20/78. ((http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-22085.html))
18" and 19" wheels affected:
43005-70 steel 18" steel spool rear drum
43008-70 aluminum 18" steel spool rear drum
43002-70 steel 19" '64-72 style front drum
43010-70 aluminum 19" '64-72 style front drum
42998-74 aluminum 19" aluminum hub front disc
43018-73 steel 19" aluminum hub front disc

==== Service Updates ====

  * **Tapered bead rims**, both steel and aluminum, were used on 70's model Sportsters. The taper was at the 'normally flat' area from the inside bead seat corner and the shelf edge at the drop towards the drop center. The metal 'shelf' tapered toward the center with a safety hump just before the drop down. It looks like it was a 'special package' buy from Goodyear with the rim included since you couldn't buy the tires to properly fit the rims anywhere else but them. ((HD Service School service bulletin #597))
    * The special "C-Section" rims are identified by the following numbers stamped inside the rim: 
      * Steel rims: Front 43003-70/19 x 2.50C, Back 43004-70/18 x 2.50C ((HD Service School service bulletin #597))
      * Aluminum rims: Front 43010-70/2.50C-19, Back 43008-70/2.50C-18 ((HD Service School service bulletin #597))
