I'm wondering, do they have tubeless wheels for a 20005 Honda Aero? If so, where's a good place to purchase??? Thanks

If you have spokes you'll need the tube tires.

Maybe some of the other Honda Shadows have mag (not-tube) wheels?

I agree with you, if I can't plug a tire when (not if) I find a nail, I don't want to ride it out of town!

I'm just about expert at plugging motorcycle tires. Lots and lots of practice. :|

Another option that we off-roaders use are heavy-duty tubes, they are far more puncture resistant than regular tubes. Some go one more step and add Slime as well.
There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle.
