hi everyone, happy holidays I want to switch out the tube tires to tubless, and change the rims out to mags. Yes, I am one who does not like tubes and spokes. I am not mechanically inclined and I'm gathering info. I want to do this over the winter months.
Also, I'm selling the stock windshield. Too tall for me Any input would be gratefully appreciated!

I understand the lack of love of tube tires. If you didn't hate the look of spokes, there are places that can convert your rims to using tubeless tires. They actually reviewed one of the products in MotorcycleCruiser.

On to the windshield. You have a couple of choices 1) Sell yours, get a new one. Probably your most costly choice. 2) places like Rifle, ceebaileys, (examples, not a full list) sell replacement windshields that use your hardware. That should be cheaper. 3) Measure out how high you want your windshield, mark it, and take it to a glass shop. It cost me $40 to have a windshield trimmed down. They kept the original curve, polished the edge, and all that.

If you want rims other than the stock spoked ones, try here:

Click on the wheel selector, then choose your bike. You can see what all wheels would look like when installed on your ride. However, buying a couple of these will put a serious dent in your bank account. I can buy a lot of tubes for this kind of cash, but to each his/her own.
