Yes You Can

yes, but why do you want to do that? if you get a flat, you can plug the tubeless tyre a few times at least; some plug forever... tube punctures mean labour costs while you can teach your self to plug holes.

And you can't teach yourself to change a tube?

Street Bob has laced wheels, so tube needed.

Done that many times with no problems. If you get a hot patch kit, you can fix flats at least as well as with a plug.

The bob comes standard with tubeless tires with tubes, at least that's what mine had on when I bought it.

Usually the tire maker will state which tubeless tires they sell can be used with a tube. Not a 100% sure why, but I think it has something to do with how smooth the inside of the tire is. My understanding is, if the tire is too rough it could contribute to heat build up due to friction with the tube. I'm sure they have other actual reasons also.

RE: tube in a tubeless???
 
can someone please tell me what should be the tube sizes for the stock '06 dyna tyres?
the shop here carries several sizes of tubes, like:

3.00x3.50-17"
4.00x4.50-17"
5.20x4.50-17"

2.25x2.50-19"
3.00x3.50-19"
4.00x4.50-19"

what is the right one?
both my manuals don't specify tube size
