If you have a 2006 Heritage I believe the stock size front tire for that is a MT 90 16.That should be around a 130 mm tire.I am sure 1 oz of beads will be fine.

When I put new tires on my bike last year I put dynabeads in and they are perfect past 100mph, couldn't ask for more

I ride an Ultra, and the wife has a Deluxe. I put 2 ounces of DynaBeads in each tire and have absolutly no problems. If you put a little more than the recommeded amount, it will not make any difference.

I'll NEVER have weights on a wheel again.

I hope you guys are right. Because I gave them to my bike builder and they where making fun of me. I told them that he would be surprised, because everybody was saying that they where working out great.

Put them in my electra glide last year and only put 1 oz. in the front like was recomended. Had a little bounce so I had to add another oz. and bounce went away. So I agree with 2 oz. in front and 2 oz. in rear.
