WEBHNTN, I will most likely do as you say. I did some searching for dealers and there are supposed to be several within 50 miles of me whereas I would have to order Dyna Beads. I have always been a little concerned about beads moving around inside a "tube" and causing damage. Thanks for your recommendations.

 

I put a new tire on the front, the middle of last year. Rode it many miles and didn't really realize the vibration was from the tire out of balance. I told them to balance it and "Oh yeah, sure, we always do." Well when I put one on the rear the guy says 'You know that front one isn't balanced don't you? I can feel flat spots just rolling it across the floor." His best suggestion since it was already cupped was to just ride it out. Come to find out the other guy didn't even HAVE a tire balancer.

Google fu introduced me to Ride-On. I figured I've got nothing to loose since I'm about to give up and put a new tire on any way to smooth it out.

Man, that stuff is unbelievable. It's not perfect because of the above but it's still like night and day on the ride. I'm going to put some in the rear tire now even though it's been spin balanced. Says it can be used with or with out weights. If it does anything at all this bike will feel like riding on glass to me compared to up to this point.

 

Never used Goo but have used balance beads like Dyna Beads. They work fine with no issues. What it comes down to is if you install your own tires and don't want to purchase an expensive balance machine and a lifetime supply of weights, use balance beads instead. If you get your tires professionally installed they have a balance machine so will use weights. From behind the handle bars you won't be able to tell the difference between a wheel that has been properly balanced with weights or the dynabeads.
