I get'em from a local indy shop (http://www.ss-customs.com/ if you're local to northeast ohio) - but you should be able to find a dealer local to you from the mfg's website: http://www.innovativebalancing.com/

Thanks for the intell...I might just try the dyna beads. If anyone knows where to get them, please post. I've had more that 20k on a front tire before and never had the wobbles. Also, mine has been wobbling since about 15K. Maybe the HD shop will correct it at the 20K service. I really hate to take it there in fear of rape. Does anyone know how to correctly adjust the steering head bearing on a roadglide??

Ten bucks that its the tire pressure if it just sort of started to happen. Found this out after changing to Metzler tire. Used the same pressure as Dunlap took and had a great big wobble coasting from 40 to 30. Went to 42 pounds of pressure and "hey, where did the wobble go?"
