Re Fitting tyre stoppers to lester rear mag

[snowyz9]

Hi
Was thinking about fitting tubes into my newly re furbed Lester Mags on z1000A2 , Question the rear wheel is drilled to accommodate the stock wheel tyre holders , with fitting a tube , is it ok to not use them and rim tape the centre of the rim ?
Thanks

Absolutely

you'll still have extra holes in the rim though

Rim tape

Tyre stoppers/tyre grabbers/rim locks/wheel grabbers - multiple names for the same things

I used some M8 button head screws and nuts on my alloy wheel. There is no need for rim locks fitting anyway, the old Zeds would struggle to remove rice pudding skin, let alone tear valves out of tubes

When these are fitted though, they look like rim locks ARE fitted and you dont leave unsightly holes in the rim. A rim tape or similar neatly covers the head inside the wheel
