You can run Dyna beads with tubes ... I use them in both tube and tubeless

As an update:
went and put about 200 on the bike today. Great day for it. 75° and sunny, 1-2 wind. Had to do it, vibration be damned. Went with no windshield. The road warrior isn’t finished yet.
But I’m beginning to be convinced it’s the front tire. Paying close attention to where it originates from on take off, it seems to hop there first.
Then I look down at the center to slight edge that’s visible and see it hoping at times. Others I look down and it’s just fine, running true.
I may throw a tire on it and see.
I’ll keep updates for those that follow. There’s all kinds of vibration posts here. Some very comical. I mean you bought a Harley and engine vibration wasn’t what you expected??? Just start it up and watch it. You could stir paint with these things.
But I got something going on here that’s fixable. Maybe it can help someone.
It also made me double check my belt.
its set to correct tension cold, but I’ve checked it through the day snd it seems tight.
The 45° test seems to fail
it seems much tighter than when it was set in garage. I checked the pulley immediately after 50 miles of 60mph and stop and go. It’s cooler to touch than tire was. But it does seem a touch tight.

Sounds something like when my AEs cupped.

Verfiy your tire pressure in your owners manual. 30 in front seems low.

with tubes you have to pull the vavle core and put them in through there ... a small tube over the stem and tap it help the beads go in

I got handle bar wobble, at certain speeds. Can’t remember what speeds though. And I did keep after the tire pressure.

Sounds like Harley wobble from misalignment of swing arm and frame.
Ive seen engine mounts worn do this.
I’ve been meaning to double check mine to see if they’re tight etc

Update:
getting ready for a Florida Keys trip I went ahead and did a full service on the bike. I put new tires on it today and the vibration is gone.
changed over from Dunlop American elites to Michelin commander 2
