    Happy Thanksgiving to all! A friend and I bought 2014 TE310's to ride single track, dual sport and with a change of wheels, super motard. I do all my own tire changing and didn't want the hassel of tubes so after much research I will attempt to seal our spoke motard wheels. This is what you'll need: tubeless valve stems, isopropyl alcohol for final rim cleaning, sealing compound, latex gloves to apply the silicone, rim band and a nice comfortable work area.

    Work area.

    As you can see, I have the wheels, balancing stand, silicone, alcohol, latex gloves, a pleasant basement man cave and tv to make this job more pleasant.

    Will post more as I get further along.

    Somehow my first thread got lost when orego sage moved this from the 4 Stroke section so I'm reposting it.
