Been using Dyna Beads for years on 5 different bikes, over 200k miles. Big improvement, less expensive than balancing with wheel weights...look better too!

You can get them HERE.

Years ago I switched to Dyna Beads when my front wheel threw a wheel weight and developed a terrible vibration..On my Road Kings I think that I was running 1 ounce in each of my E3s..I have read where some were putting 2 ounces in the rear..Is any one out there doing that ?

Just had them put in my tires yesterday 1 front 2 rear, had my wheels powdercoated and did not want weights on my wheels, took it out last night, may have a little vibration starting around 70 but did not get much above 80 because I was riding with a group, I'll keep you posted but so far I'm happy

Default Liking them so far.

I put them in for a claim to reduce scalloping of the tires. Time will tell. I love them till 65mph. After that I am feeling something but can't say for sure if its a balance problem or not.

Try it without them first. You will not be able to tell the difference. Just my opinion.
