I have 2 oz per tire on my biker and all is fine. I made an attachment for my drimel years ago that helps get the beads in. I took square piece of hard rubber just a bit smaller then a die (like in a set of dice) attached an arbor to it and it works by vibrating the valve stem which makes the beads go in faster.
I really do like those Orange Lo's.. JMO, if I had one, I would gloss-black damn near everything on the bike and make that orange really pop out.. but that's just me. When my bike gets run over by a dumptruck and I finally get out of prison for dismembering the drunken driver who ran it over, that's probably the color I'd get next.
I truly believe if the dump truck took out my Lo, the Deluxe would be my next softail. As if you can't tell with the way my bike is turning out... This sig pic is the last pic pre-drop. Let the lowering begin.
I also want some black cholos. #ledsled
do you by any chance recall how many ounces of beads per tire you used on your Fatty?
I have my new Michelins and 2 3oz bags of dyna beads. Gonna get them mounted and then balance them this week.
2oz per tire sounds about right. I did the first set of tires myself but the indy did the second. The good thing about them is you can't really put too much in unless you get crazy about it, like use a half pound or something, because any excess just goes where it needs to and won't unbalance the tire. At least that's what the website says.
I am seeing a bunch of new post here from new members. Also seeing a bunch of those Fugly rear strut and fork reflectors. Come on new guys get with the program and complete what was supposed to be your first mod. Thank You.
