Glad to hear it on the BT45's, these fit quite nicely (though I personally hate getting tubeless style tires onto any rims). My plan is to use them to kick around town/commute and save the knobbies for ADV trips.
Yeah, my next things to do are:
- Valve Clearances
- Clean out centrifugal oil filter
- Install bark busters
- Aftermarket Exhaust
- 115 main jet (maybe swap to Mikuni)

Don't worry about the tubes in a BT45. My Goldwing runs tubes and I never had a problem. The general rule of thumb with running tubes in a tubless tire is that the speed rating of the tire drops 1 rank. So if it is V rated, it should be treated as H rated. The BT45 is rated at speeds almost double what your bike is capable of, so even with a tube you won't come close lol.
