Default No wheel weights?

I did a quick detail of my wheels yesterday with Pledge and I didn't see a single wheel weight on either wheel. How the heck are they balanced?

Not all tires need to be balanced. How does your bike ride? With the OEM tire on my chrome softail deuce rear tire, I needed 2.5oz of weight to bal the tire. Installed new tire and only needed .5oz.

When I got my bike the wheels were not balanced because there were no wheel weights. When I put on new tires I used Dyna Beads to balance. http://www.innovativebalancing.com/motorcycle.htm

I guess that's the case because I sure noticed some stick on weights on the laced wheels of other bikes on the showroom floor.

My bike rides fine. I've only had it up to about 75 on the Interstate, but I didn't detect any vibes at that speed. It was a magic carpet.

I put them in my tubes per the directions. 2oz in the rear and one in the front. Seems fine and no problems. Take out the valve core and put them in through a tube provided. I put my tires on myself so I wanted a way to balance them.
