Does anyone know if it's possible (economically) to swap out the laced wheels in the TB/TBS/Legend/Adventurer with cast wheels so as to be able to run tubeless tires? (obviously, anything's possible if you want to spend enough money, I was just wondering if there was any quick or easy swap with another bike or an aftermarket company that made a reasonably priced set of wheels.) My last 4 bikes have all had cast wheels & tubeless tires and I appreciated the low maintenance aspects of them, plus I have heard that tubeless tires are safer b/c a tire with a tube that gets a puncture will deflate instantly, whereas a tubeless tire will deflate more slowly.

Thanks for any input. I'm shopping for my next bike on the internet and I've always liked the looks and heritage of the Triumph classics. I got to ride a 2003 TB at Sturgis last year and was very impressed with how smooth and powerful it was.

This isnt exactly the answer to your question but:
www.wheel-works.com/ will convert spoked rims to run tubeless tires (without tubes) which may or may not be all you are looking for.

They are located in california and they list it at $59 a wheel to do the conversion.

As for mag wheels to replace the spoked rims , I sure someone has tried this, give it a little time and someone may post into the thread with relavant details.
