The alternative is something like an Outex conversion kit. You can check this thread http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....oke+wheels
The EX with spokes must run a tube tire unless you seal off the spokes inside the rim. This is what makes buying tires a pain. Your 2014 must be an DLX since 2017 was the first year for the EX I believe.

Average 3,500 mi life ( I live on a mountain and ride pretty hard). The only tubed tire that fits the bike is the oem Dunlop 205 Sportmax which is not available anywhere! . My dealer is only place I can find them for $465.00 plus 180 install. I asked dealer if they could put tubes in a tubeless tire and they were very much against it, and said it was dangerous? I trust them- largest Honda dealer US. I am po'd as this is really ruining my experience with the bike. Very impractical and expensive! Any suggestions?
I think I am going to order a rim sealing kit by Out Ex. It is almost $100 per tire, but lets you go tubless.
