I am running them in my Ultra, and the wifes Deluxe, and both bikes run smoother down the road then they did with wieghts.
Nothing to installing them...simply remove the valve core, hook up a small hose to the stem, tip the bottle, and tap the stem till they all get in. ( a vibrating tool helps alot, I used an engraving tool...)
Just make sure that the tire is dry when installed...Water or grease inside the tire wilcause the beads to clump and not work properly.

+1 Dyna Beads - I don't understand how they work but they do.
As for noise - if there is any noise from the beads, I doubt I could hear it above the pipes and all the other rattles and general noise of my bike.

Dyna beads sound like a good deal. The theory has been around for a while. I would like to use the product listed below, but it doesn't seem to me that it would work with the Dyna Beads. Anybody know for sure??

The good thing about Dyna-beads is...they are constantly balancing the tire....wheel weights are good...until you get 1 mile on the tire, then, in a sense, the tire will start to wear and the balancing is shot..... I have beads in the two bikes I own....makes it a lot easier on the wallet doing your own tire change and throwing in some beads...hell that saves at least $40-50 here!!

We put a sticking plaster over a wound, but it doesn't heal the wound, just covers or hides it! Not a very good comparison I realise, but if tyres are balanced when fitted, they are balanced or healed. Installing dyna beads doesn't cure the problem at source, merely covers or masks it.
A desirable tyre 'accessory' is a tyre sealant, especially when travelling on that big trip of a lifetime. Beads wouldn't work in a sticky substance, so they fail again. They are no substitute for balancing the wheels the traditional way!
