Yeah, rear should be tubeless. Im running a Full Bore brand rear on my 07' 1200C. No tube unless you have spokes I believe.

Yeah, no need for a tube on that wheel. The newest Harleys even have tubeless spokes!

Also, on spoked wheels that do require a tube (like mine), the tires on them are actually tubeless tires most of the time. They can be run both ways (just throw a tube in), which sometimes confuses those with wire wheels and a tire that says "tubeless".
