I use them as well and a very smooth ride is the best description. I talked a friend into trying them. He was skeptical but once he got on the bike he is a believer now. He swears that his bike feels like it brand new again and It is 25 years old.

grab your girls vibrator, turn it on and place it so it is touching the tube the beads will flow through.

The beads will flow easy and fast just like a teenager.


Since my O L does not have one I used my engraving tool.

I have them in my Ultra and not sure if I am running enough. At times it is smooth as can be but then sometimes I am getting a bounce such as an unbalanced tire. I have 2 ounces in the front and 3 in the back, that is what I ran in my Goldwing. What are you guys running in your tires?

The ONLY way to go. Much smother than you could ever do with weights. I would never go back to weights again.

That looks like a scam to me. He never ran up the drill without the dyna beads to show us whether or not it would smooth out on it's own like it finally did with the dyna beads.

Had he continued to run the drill with the 20g of weight taped to the side of the bottle it probably would have flown off. Some people won't even believe what they see with their own eyes.

OP, they work, I've also heard that Ride-On does a good job too.

I use them on my bike. I first used it in the front tire when I upgraded to the 21 inch wheel. Then I decided to use it in the rear wheel after I bought a new tire for it. I took the weights off and went for a little cruise. Shakey. Got home and installed the beads and went for a cruise afterwards and smooth as can be.
