How many weights?

I'm not sure if i lost one or not. How many weights does the rear wheel on the 1200 sportster have? I've got two on the front, but right now as I have problems, I've only got one on the rear.

Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. There is no simple answer to your question! Each tyre is balanced individually, according to its need. Just occasionally a tyre will need no weights. The only thing you can do is get your wheel balanced, or use one of the internal balancing products.

What problems are you having?

And you're being a bit of a jerk. Everyone starts some place so give the young man some help.

(I'm probably twice as knowledgeable as you are, but I won't rub your nose in it!)
