Just have some questions on the Tbird, and people here seem very knowledgeable, so:

1. The Tbird has laced wheels but the tires say 'tubeless'. Are they tubeless, and if so, how? Is the inside of the wheel sealed up? I didn't think you could have laced wheels and tubeless tires.

2. Since I seem to have struck out at the Triumph web site, what are some other places where I can get a center stand, back rest/6-pack rack and a locking gas cap?

3. Have any of you had good luck putting bigger (thicker) handgrips on the Tbird? The grips feel a little skinny to me.

4. Would it be cheesy to put fork gaiters on the bike? I've always liked the look of fork gaiters. It seems very "60's English bike" to me. :-D

Thanks in advance for any help.
