New tire and Dynabeads

[Jay]

Just put a Battlax on the rear.  Took it for a ride (43miles) without weights and didn't really notice an out of balance condition.  The ride seemed smoother, but that just may be because of the new tire.  Installed 2 oz beads in the rear, took the 1 1/4 oz lead stick ons off the front and installed about the same weight of dynabeads.  Rode to work this morning (21miles) and it seemed to be very good.  Too early to tell for sure, but so far the dynabeads seem to be balancing as advertised.

I've had them in my Valk for a while now.....just put a new front on the GW yesterday and added the beads to it and the rear also.

Like you Jay I believe they work as advertised.

I put 2 full ounces in both.....it won't hurt having a bit over, but you can have  too little.

(4 ounces in the Darkside tire on the Valk)

good luck with them, Ken

Only need 3 oz for car tire and you need 3 oz for the 200 battleax.

I was thinking I read they recommended 2 in front and 3 in rear.

Here's the chart from the manufacturer.  http://www.innovativebalancing.com/chart.htm#MotorcycleChart

Although it specifies 2oz for the size of the stock rear, replacing the same amount of lead that was on my rear wheel with the Avon Cobra (with no dot on the heavy spot) required over 3oz.

Wow...That's a great price for that tire! $18.00 less than HDL's sale price. I ordered another, Thanks for posting!
