Yup..been running them in my front and rear tire since the beginning of this year. The dealer thought it was a good idea to put weights on my mag rims.....LOOKS UGLY AS HELL!! Haven't had any problems and/or vibrations

Dyna Beads work better that anything else. If you install them when you are
putting on the tires just dump them right in the tire before you air them up,
then you don't have to do the valve stem thing

I used them for the first and so far they seem to do what they say. Ive had the bike up to 100 and no problems with new 402's.

I started using them last year when I put my new wheels on. Don't have any complaints.

Another new Dynabeads fan here...just changed front and rear tires on my bike with new D402's. Both front and rear rims had 1 oz. of weights on the rims, took them off, 2 oz. in the rear MU85B16 and 1 oz. in front MT90B16, bike is smooth and vibration free.

It was cheap for me to try, firm believer now and I have the ugly weights off my chrome rims.

You can also use chrome wheel weights. That's what I put on my rims.
