Would these work on an XJ wheel?

    Just a theory, I'm thinking they may work better on our tubeless tires, given the direct air pressure holding the tire against the rim. Of course, might be harder to install for that same reason. I would think you would have to at least let most of the air out of the tire to slip it in.

    If you did install some, I would say let the bike sit for a day or 2 and check air pressure, then do some slow riding for a few miles and check again.

    Of course, I may be completely wrong.

    I really like the way the original lettering on the tire is just visible outside the white ribbon at @ 4:20 on the video. :roll:
    I know, at 60 miles an hour who's gonna see it, but when the bike is parked I think it would look cheesy to see part of the lettering sticking out. Just sayin'.

    Those are for Trailer Queens and Tube-type tires that aren't going to get rolling over 55mph.
