You could always re spoke to BMW R1200GS rims if you want to keep the look of the bike 110/80 19 front spoked tubless rims 150/70 17 rear spoked tubless if it will go in the swingarm.I would try and stay away from tubes in tubeless tyres simply because of the rapid deflation of tubes in the event of a puncture.

I'm probably wrong but I seem to remember about a year or so ago the rating reduction for tubes was dropped. I didn't see anything in the tire section but I'm sure Kent will be more then willing to tell me "where to go" to look for it...   :-D
