Been using them for years in all my bikes...also in the wifes truck. Much smoother ride, and no ugly wheel weights.

Here's some More Info on them.

I use them in my bagger and they seem to work fine. Put them in the rear wheel after my weights fell off on the way through Arizona in the heat. Long days with an unbalanced tire suck for sure! That vibration is gone now.

I tried to put them in my Dyna wheels, but the hole in the valve stem is too small to let the beads flow in. Luckily my front wheel took 0 ounces, and the rear only 1 ounce when I had them balanced.

Yep.. they work. No potential for those ugly weights to fall off or messing up any nice aftermarlet rims. Just know that if your bike sits for a while and or during cold mornings, the initial few miles will be a little bumpy until the tires heat up and the beads settle in. Nothing major..that's just the way they work.
