It looks tacky to me and seems like they could spin it, mark the spot for the weights and then stick them just inside the tire so as not to be seen.

Is this possible? My local Harley dealers here say no.
I have been using Dyna Beads for several years on all my bikes and have never had a tire issue due to an out of balance problem.

Can't wait to see how you make it your own
LOL and how do you take those pesky reflectors off....

Wait for a nice warm summer day and use fishing to run between the reflector and what ever part of the bike it is connected to. Then some goo gone does the trick for any remaining adhesive. If you want them off when it's cool use a heat gun or a good blow dryer to heat them up first.

+1 on the dyna beads. I've been using them for about three years now with no issues. I'm looking into getting ride on sealant/tire balancer for the next set of tires. It's supposed to balance the tires and also seal small punctures without leaving a mess for the tire changer to complain about. We'll see.
