i need suggestion for changing normal tyre in tbts to tubeless ones for thunderbird twinspark or any other bullet.
1.stock tbts have 3.25 x 19" front and 3.5 x 19" rear tyres.if i want to go for tubeless tyres,is it necessary to downsize the wheel also to 18 or 17".
2.abt changing wheels,if i prefer enkei alloy(mag wheels as in unicorn,gs 150r,whether it can bear the bullet weight(175 kg) + (rider+pillion+20 kg luggage)-140kg)? (enkei alloys are lighter than other aftermarket alloy wheels)
3.will swingarm will allow to fit 120 width rear tyre instead of stock one 3.50 x 19"?
4.how much change will be in seat height,ground clearance,and whether it will improve or affect the road grip,handling,stability, if i am downsizing the wheels to 18" wheels?
5.whether using tyre sealant like slime etc., will be useful in puncture prevention?
6. i am speaking about tubeless tyres like as in pulsar 220,not like soft compound tubeless in YAMAHA R15.bcoz soft compound tyres may wear out or affected in offroading condition or travelling thru rough patches.
last but not least,which company wheels & tyres are best to go for (in terms of quality),&where it will be available and what will be the approx.cost for modification?
pls help me out as i want to buy a bike with more power suitable for touring with pillion.presently i have 125 cc bike,only useful for commuting.
