I am in the market for a Vulcan 900 and have read many reviews. One reviewer said that he would "seal" the tires and/or replace the spoked wheels. The suggestion was to get tubeless tires.

Can someone tell me what it means to "seal" the tires and where one can buy replacement wheels for the OEM spoked ones? Also, is all this necessary on the Vulcan 900 LT?

Thank you.  

HI; Do you want tubeless tires? Do you care? I have run tube tires for years and have had no troubles. I like the spokes. The only advantage that I can see is if you ever get a flat. On the tubeless all you need is to plug the hole.  With the tube you need to dismount the wheel and tire to repair the tube.
When you get the wheel sealed for  tubeless. The wheel and tire have to be dismounted and send the wheel off the get the inside of the wheeled sealed with a polimar so that the air does not leak out the spoke nuts.    Now that you have sealed the spokes you can not adjust them if needed..
I don't think is needed. Just  more *** spent for a might be kinda thing. Hope this helps..scruffy...  

Thanks, Scruffy, for the feedback. I grew up in the world of tube tires, and fixed many a bicycle flat. You are indeed right: don't sweat it. I appreciate your taking the time to respond. I already bought the Vulcan 900 and will pick it up next week. Can't wait.  

The advantage of tubless tyres is that if you get a puncture the tyre dflates more slowly, that's the theory any way! The big problem these days is that a lot of bikes don't have centre stands, so taking the wheel off becomes problematic- not an impossibility, just more difficult-it really is a preference thing, swings and roudabouts.
