Wheel Balancing.?
Havent seen anything on the Evo Forum about Wheel Balancing on 91 Ultra (Cast Wheels OEM).
Waste of time or why. Bungo

I always balance mine after I mount them.

I usually balance them. The couple times I have not balanced them, I couldn't tell any difference.

The tech who does my tire changes tells me he only balances the front wheels. He claims that's the only end that needs to be. Not sure why. He didn't put a wheel weight on the new rear wheel I built, and it seems to run just fine. Lucky? I don't know.

Once the wheel is balanced, just match the yellow dot to the valve stem of each tire and ride on.

I did not balance mine with cast Harley wheels and Michelin tires. I also don't run over 65 or so and rarely at that unless I have to.

I static balance my motorcycle tires. It isn't difficult and doesn't take that long.
