    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can I run tubeless

Neither of mine "popped" but hold air perfectly. I did not use any sealant, just a little windex or something laying around to get the rubber back on the rim. I didn't want to soak everything because I knew I was going to be adding beads (like dyna beads) to the inside and didn't want too much moisture.

Most tires have a molding line at the edge of the tire bead. With the tire installed this line should be uniformly spaced relative to the edge of the wheel. This is how you know the tire is seated. Make sense?

Yes, it does make sense and mine are at the edge of the wheel, looking properly concentric around the wheel, both sides. I just thought it had to pop to be properly seated. Thanks again.

I didn't realize my '82 1100E was supposed to have tubes, as they never had them. I guess a PO had decided to run without. I ran for years that way. A couple of years ago, after reading a few of these posts, I fitted tubes when I replaced tires, as they are supposed to be there. Rather odd my '82 requires tubes, whereas my wife's '82 GS850 has tubeless wheels.

More odd is the first 850 ran tubeless front and tubed rear(in Australia anyway)
