than again you have to lever... harder on the levers..., as the innertube prevents the steel ring wire in the tyre to sit in the center and thus cater for leverage...

Actually I did have a lot of difficulty fitting the rear tyre to my Norton. It took a lot of tries and high pressure before it seated on the rim. It was simply too tight.
If I omit the security bolts, will the mounting hole be a problem?

You only want enough air in the tube to make it a bit round instead of flat.
Dan Smith has fitted several (tubeless) kits to his bikes with good success. His Shadow and A+ replica twin are fitted with them over the spokes. They are not cheap but appear to work very well.
Thanks all - I have now fitted the new tyre OK with a standard Michelin 350x19 tube and had no trouble doing so - must be practice makes perfect, though I have been fitting them from time to time for 60+years
but it does not seem to be getting any easier.
