wheels

Ok for a while now I have been thinking about getting rid of the spoke wheels on my '05 1300s. I am wondering if there are any problems with switching to the cast wheels that the R model comes with. I am thinking of this in order to run tubless tires, I think that I would feel much safer on radials.

Anyone have any pros or cons to this idea, and I know now I should have just bought the 1300r.

Well I like your choice of words. Good I'll get to see you then. GG :D
Personally, I like the look of C rims on the R, like Green Ghosht and Coley. I think they look real classy. I never liked spokes. For me, they went out with kick starters and drum brakes.
