Wheel Balancing
I have a 2002 FLSTF and decided to ditch the stock wheels and go with fat spoke 21F/18R. I took the brand new wheels and tires to an INDY and their tech who is supposedly a Harley tech told me neither wheel needed weights? Is this unheard of? The original wheels which I believe are aluminum had all kinds of weight on them. Is it possible for a wheel to not need balancing at all?

Just had a set of Commander 2's mounted on Blade Chrome wheels no weights either. I thought maybe because CVO rim better quality. Front and back indy says once in a while they get one that doesn't need but two has never happened. Took it for a ride after install and smooth as silk.

I guess I will find out. I haven't ridden it yet its been raining a lot here in Chicago lately. Not afraid of the rain I just don't want to test drive in the rain on new wheels and tires.
