How do the 2012 tubeless spoke wheels work?
Are they the same wheels as previous model years with some kind of sealant at the spokes or are they a completely different design? Does anyone have a picture comparing the old & new wheels on the inside?
Also, are the new wheels a direct fit for a 2010 RKC that already has the spoke wheels (tube type wheels)?

I had the dealer retrofit them to my 2011 RKC when I bought it. They are a different wheel that looks like the profile laced wheel but has a different contour to the inside of the rim. They have a thick wide rubber seal that goes inside the rim, from bead to bead. The seal is supposed to be replaced evertime you change tires. Try googling it, I found the harley tech bulletin on line that has pictures & explains how they work but I don't remember the website. So far, mine work fine, but they're just a couple months old but the concept looks good, I think they'll hold up fine.
