tire mounting - bead control lines

Just mounted a pirelli route 66 tire 120-90-18 tubeless on my 1978 kz650B2 with spoke wheels.. also installed new tube..mounted up fine and balanced . spins nice and true.. but i noticed you can not see the bead control lines like you can on my other bike that has the same tire but is mounted on a mag wheel.. my question is is this normal or problem? thanks

Did your tire pop on the rim when aired up? If so, it should be seated. To verify you can put the bike on the center stand and let all the air out of the tire and make sure it is seated.

O.K. i was hoping someone might have had run into this before and would know if those bead control lines would show on a spoke wheel

You could try EB pics. I looked at one KZ650 Fr wheel & you can see the bead line. Also, maybe try contacting Pirelli.
