    Hi guys.

    Would like to swap out my existing stock wheels for spoked wheels; would really appreciate any tips on where to pick up a set though as they'd preferably be used due to cost!

    The bike is a CB400 Super Four, so front wheel is 17M/C × MT3.00 and back is 17M/C × MT4.00

    Do spoked wheels not have innner tubes? That means no plugging and having to take the tyre off and replace/repair tube. I wouldn't bother,(I could be wrong about the tubes though)

    They did, but apparently you can get tubeless conversion kits or in this case just buy factory tubeless spoked wheels.

    The gs1200 is spoked, I've always doubted whether they have tubes, but as you say lumen, times have changed since I were a boy :)

    Ah jaysus, I thought it'd be a straight swap. May have to put this idea on ice after all.
