We have been running the Dyna beads for years here. Who wants to buy a new set of rims and have big ugly wheel weight on it? Next is the acid test. We have experienced glass smooth rides with Dyna beads. Putting the wheel on a balancer with Dyna beads will not work either.

Dyna beads might be a good answer to balancing. Dealer just told me its $225 to balance both wheels! Now that's incredible. I have paid alot less than that. Guess I need to but a balance machine and do it on the side...

I had an E3 on the front of my Road King that Dyna beads could not smooth out. It may have been a bad tire. I'm to the point now that I mount the tire with the dot at the valve stem and ride it. I will add dyna beads if needed (I have 4 ozs. in my tool box). I've mounted 6 tires and still have 4 ozs of beads in my tool box. I'm just sayin, I was a believer, now I'm looking for evidence that they work.

225 to balance a few wheels. I took my brand new 21 in wheel to the stealer and he only charge about 30 dollars for the chrome weights an labor. That's b4 I heard of dyna beads. Ripped those weights on and my dyna beads work perfect.

That price sounded crazy to me too! I guess I need to investigate the dynamic beads. How much and where?
