The weights should have been placed evenly on both sides of the wheel.

Harley allows 3 1/2 oz's on a wheel, more than that they will take the tire back under warranty. SOMETIMES we dont align the dot with the valve stem because it required more weight than allowed but when rotated 180* it falls under spec.

The new steel weights suck, they are huge compared to the lead ones, thank your local tree hugger with a slap to that back of the head for the change.

Dynabeads come from inovative balancing:

2 oz bags $6.10 each.

Yes some people balance with weights on both sides, some put them on the low side, some wrap them across the bridge of the rim. Its all in how they were taught! If it zero's on the balancer its balanced!
