Default Agitator wheel balancing
For you guys and gals with the Agitator wheels,how are you balancing them?Dyna beads or stick on weights?

Went to the dealer yeasterday,as they are running 15% off tires,with free mounting and balancing.Couldnt balance my wheel cuz they didnt have the install kit in stock.So I figured I`d just put the beads in it.

Just looking to see how other people are doing it.

Thanks.

I used stick on weights. I only needed one weight on each wheel to do the job.

Dyna Beads here - not a single issue, and smooth as silk at all speeds.

Best part is...no more ugly wheel weights or adhesive to clean off.

Dyna beads work great, can install when putting tire on, or after with applicator bottle and hose.

Look HERE.

I'd go with Dyna Beads!!

My CVO with the agitators came with the nice chrome stick on weights and during a ride from Cali to Tennessee it threw the front weights off right into the front fender. Put some really nice dents and chips in the fender! They covered it under warranty and put a new fender on, but not really sold on the stick on variety.

Mine have stick on chrome weights. I only found one on the front and have not looked close enough at the rear to see if there are any.
