I converted my EX to tubeless and they have been exemplary, no problems whatsoever. Professionally done by BartFactory in Italy. http://www.bartfactory.it/
But when I had it done a couple of years back they had their website in English and Italian (not just a web browser conversion). The English choice no longer seems to be there and I assume since Brexit they do not want UK business as it is far to messy with shipping and export/import paperwork.
On a more positive note the UK just signed up to the Trans-Pacific Partnership yesterday and will be in place in the second half of 2024 so you will have direct, 100% tariff free, access to the Japanese market, including Samurider.com which may be of interest for other things.
I like the tyre size that comes standard and have Bridgestone T31's fitted in the stock size which Bridgestone support with/without a tube. A bit noisier than the Dunlop OEM mind. Get a wider tyre and you just have to lean more for the same bend too, watch how much less a little 125cc bike leans ahead of you in any given corner. You are also adding more unsprung weight. I know lots of people like the larger tyre though, each to their own.
