Gee, I could have sworn you were wanting to "balance" the wheels. Not all sealants will do that.

Agreed, that is what you asked. And as I and several others have said, yes it is possible. Even though others have said we don't know what we are talking about or doubt our words.

When I got new tires this past summer, the dealer put weights on both the front and rear wheels. I removed the weights and added Ride-On. I can't say I noticed any difference, it feels fine. I'm a big fan of Ride-On.

Ha ha, I guess I have been. Between insanely busy at work, and depressing rain almost a week, I've been off the radar for a bit.

well ive just had my wheels powder coated so old weights were removed, then had new tyres put on and noticed they never put new weights on?
However the wheels seemed fine and no balance issues. I had a bit off wobble on my scooter with 10" wheels and I put some dyna beads in after a work mate recommended them and it really felt smoother so I got some for the sportster and after cursing getting the damn things through the valves I didn't notice any difference than when I had no weights on???
