Tubeless Wheel Conversion for my Africa Twin

In this video I go through the steps I took to convert the factory original (OEM) wheels for my 2017 Honda Africa Twin motorcycle from tubed to tubeless. I converted both the front and rear wheels, but due to the lack of safety bead on the front rim, that conversion is for demonstration purposes only.

NOTE: Modifying factory equipment is dangerous (as is motorcycling). This video is not a recommendation or endorsement for converting your motorcycle wheels to tubeless, just my experience doing this for myself. Proceed at your own risk.

This turned out to be a fairly labor intensive project, but the basic procedure I used was:
1. Remove the wheels from the bike and the tires from the wheels
2. Clean the wheels thoroughly, first with soapy water and a scrub brush, then with wire brushes, then with acetone.
3. Apply 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure 5200 to the spoke holes (https://amzn.to/3K0gP8j)
4. Prepare the wheels for taping using isopropyl alcohol
5. Tape wheels with 3M Extreme Sealing Tape 4411N (https://amzn.to/3IuEddJ)
6. Install Drag Specialties valve stems (https://www.dragspecialties.com #0360-0010)
7. Re-assemble wheels, tires, and put back on the motorcycle.
