New tires

[Gorminrider]

Here's a picture from member Batfaam's conversion. I havent done it myself, but I'd expect/hope it'd be all you need....the difference between the era tubeless and tubed are just in the spoking I think. That, and they are not Certified DOT for tubeless so...

This is what I cut that with, and the NAPA valve stems...

Link to the counter bore cutting tool, which was only $20 on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I5PFQZU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's not very high quality, but it worked fine on the aluminum.

I changed my 1978 GS750 over to tubeless. No countersinking, just added stems made by Slime purchased at Autozone. 1 year and no issues yet!

5 pages to figure out what size tire to use? He needs a 100/90x19 front and a 120/90x17 rear. If you live In Iowa, you can have tires in 2 days from Dennis Kirk. Otherwise google "cheapest 100/90x19 dunlop" or what ever brand you like and the offers will flood in for best price. You can run with no tubes even if it doesn't say so, they normally don't leak. Balance them with weights. Beads suck. Sorry but at 62 y/o I'm not mounting my own tires, in Mpls fair prices on mounting can be found on Craigslist. I'd rather be riding.

Those sizes aren't what I was told before. And I was curious if tubeless tires worked on tubed rims, and if there were any cons to using them.

You've already bought your tires and all that's left is the balance. I'm not sure where that poster got his information about beads from but anyone who doesn't have real world experience with something needs to be ignored.
