And the rims can be modified to run tubeless.  I've never done it but a buddy of mine has done it (with good results) to his stock Yamaha rims and it's on my to-do list.

As a new Drifter owner I am a little confused.  The info on the forums seem to indicate that these bikes use tubes but the websites list tubeless.    Thanks

Yes the Drifter uses tubes. You can use tubeless tires. As CDNRatMan said it's a good idea to replace the rim strips and tubes when replacing the tires. As someone once said..."Tires are your life man".

If you are running stock rims then it has to be tube tires, my own I change the tires I change the tubes and the rim liners everytime, peace of mind issue for me.

As a new Drifter owner I am a little confused.  The info on the forums seem to indicate that these bikes use tubes but the websites list tubeless.  1999 1500.  Any input to which tire you like best would be appreciated.  Bike currently has 12000 miles and has Bridgestone tires on it which I assume are original.  Thanks
