You might consider that a mag wheel is a much better wheel...even though these old tech wheels are only slightly lighter than a stock spoked wheel and you still have to use inner tubes, they are much rounder and truer...and will stay that way forever (unless you crash into something large)

IIRC some of the lesters were built to be tubeless. I have a set on a 750 and I love them. Wont part with the bike just because of the wheels.

If the Lesters have "T" stamped into the rim, they can be run tubeless... RR

Thank y'all. I had no idea what they were or that they were sought after. The PO had no idea either. Given what I paid for the bike.
