I was impressed how he turned the rim into a tubeless rim and the trick to install a tire.

A very good video indeed. It was thought this recent tire change but my mileage per year doesn't justify it and just like my handling/expectations being the same over the past 51 yrs. To each their own.
Another video this gentleman posted which probably more pertinent to now do to the season ending for a lot us:

I really enjoy Ryan Kluftinger's Fortnine videos. He
"was a young, recent graduate, not from anything useful, [he] had [his] undergrad in art history and physics"
when he got a copywriting job with Canada's Motorcycle (now FortNine), a retailer like Revzilla.
Here's another good one:

His description of how DS tires affect handling is exactly why I took one off my Valkyrie within 100 miles of bringing it home. It just didn't feel like a motorcycle should, to me. All that about compromising safety increased my bias against them (pun intended).
