They don't appear to be tubeless ones (they don't have the extra "bump" on the rim) but a lot of people on here run them tubeless. There is some work to be done on the valve hole to allow the O ring to seal I believe....
It's definitely something you should research & only do if you're happy.
Personally I have always run tubes in mine.1980 GS1000G - Sold

I put tubeless tires on these wheels.
I drilled out the valve hole to fit a tubeless valve.
Never had a leak or tire issues and I rode it hard.

I've heard that patches are stronger than the rest of the tube.
I assume this has a lot to do with prep.
I'd rather do without.

So the stepson came over for dinner tonight so i took advantage of that and had him help me lift the engine in to the frame. The slightly smaller dimentions of the oilcooled gsx motor make it much easier to get in than the original.

This is such a fantastic build.
You have done such a great job, well done.
I will be painting my bike parts black also, so will follow the thread.
