Got them in the rear on mine. No weights, and perfect balance. Plan on doing the front next tire change.

I don't have them in my tires but I have done some research and they seem to be a great product. I have read countless positive reviews about them and I'll definitely use them in my tires in the future.

Been using them for over 4 years...nothing but good comments. I do tires for most of the guys I ride with, probably put them in 30+ bikes, the usual reaction is WOW! If you get their kit...I would recommend getting a longer (3-4 ft) hose...and take your time.

I am running them for the first time and they work as described, my rims are nice and balanced while riding.

Put the beads in my Ultra about a year ago. 3 oz. in the rear and 2 oz. in the front. In my case, they work perfectly. Smooth as glass at all speeds.

A+. No complaints. After you do the first set you can just by the refill kit (bag o beads). Some say they are nothing more than ceramic basting media, but I don't know.

I have them in both my tires. The tread was starting to wear uneven (cupping) after 4,000 miles. I added the dyna beads and the tread is now even after another 2000 miles on them. total of 6000 miles on the tires with plenty of tread still and no vibrations at all, just a nice smooth ride.

Had my wheels powder coated and didn't want to stick weights on them...
Bought a kit off Ebay, installed them when I put the new Avons on it was easy just take your time... Keeps the tires balanced as you ride...

Is this for new tires only? I was just checking them out since I have never heard of them. I think it said you only need 1-2 oz. it's cheap, about a buck an oz
