Congratulations on the Interceptor!

Wanted to know if you've explored any options to switch over to a tubeless setup.
In the absence of good alloy options, the only way to go seems to be the tubeless conversion kit.
Any idea on how effective they are ? (Have you or anyone you know tried this ?)

This question arises due to a long term report I recently read, which mentioned that getting the tire off the rim is a real pain due to the rim design on this bike.

Thanks and sorry for late reply, don't know why but not getting timely notifications from bcmt on taptalk.

I am waiting for re to to launch official alloys , the outex conversation kit available is too expensive and also not a sure shot method as it has reportedly been failed on few triumphs. Outex is like the velo tape kit which can get damaged if one or more spoke of the rim gets lose or broke.
Few guys are using formula x available in Amazon but again that only seals punctures of a certain size and doesn't work on sides of the tyre.
Cost of outex plus its fitting is not justifiable IMO.

Update for SIRIUS.
Done close to 1600kms on odometer in 3 months, not getting much to ride.
All good till now, the wheel wobble issue was fixed at the service center after alignment and balancing of the rims all the spokes were tightened and it fixed the wobble from front end when leaning at higher speed.
Last calculated city only fuel economy is 22.9kpl.
Highway economy is 26 to max 31.2 kpl. I got maximum figure when riding in speed zone of 90 to 110kmph.
Got few items installed recently.
1 backrest with luggage rack Rs800/- local from karolbag.
2 small box from studds. Rs700/-
3 Mobile charger with usb and 12v socket Rs400/-
4 A simple seat cover Rs400/-
5 labor for all work Rs300/-

All work done at one shop in Karolbag Jeetu bike point.
Few pics after the mods.
