Default Wheel balance Weights

I just washed my 2007 fatboy and the front balance weights fell off. Looks like they were just on with double sided stickey tape. I can see the glue on the wheel where they go. Any ideas how to put them back?

more 2 sided tape after you clean the old off. Do you know how much weight was on it before it fell off?

You can put them back on with 2 sided tape after cleaning the old glue and tape from the surface, or replace them with new ones.

Get Dyna beads and put them in. You'll never want weights again.

That's What I hear.... I'm going to try them real soon. I'm needing new tires, and a few buddies are loving them. I guess they work okay with the tubes.
