That's correct, the Cross Spoke wheels on the GS do not need a tube.
I don't think BMW has a Cross Spoke wheel in the current inventory to fit the Heritage bikes and they must not be willing to make new wheel in the correct size.
If someone wants to spend the money, the R Nine T wheels can be shipped to a place like Woody's Wheels and have them sealed so you can run without tubes.
