There have actually been quite a number of discussions on here regarding this specific topic. Here is one: http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....t=tubeless
I have a 2014 EX with spoke wheels that require tube tires normally, but since I can no longer find any such tires here in Switzerland I switched to Metzeler Z8,which is a tubeless tire, and had tubes put in place. I have not experienced any issue with this set up, and am on my second set like this now. In total I have done over 20'000 km like this now.
This does seem to me to be the simpler and cheaper option as opposed to installing a sealing kit.
