Do bikes require the Filtered Valve Cores like it does for cars ?

Be sure and check the Dealer Locator tab on their web site as you can often find a local dealer that will sell you the beads for about $3.00 an oz. The prices, if you order them from the Web aren't bad, but almost everyone wants another $7.00 for shipping. Once you have the applicator bottle, just buy the beads in bulk locally.

PM sent.

I've been using Dyna Beads in my bikes and other vehicles (both tube and tubeless tires) for a long time, and they work great...

Far as I'm concerned wheel weights are a thing of the past.

Another thing is that when using 'wheel weights' to balance a tire they might need to be rebalanced after a few thousand miles due to normal wear of the tire tread.

When using Dyna Beads the tire stays 'in balance' for the life of the tire/tread.

I normally use 1.5 ounces in smaller front bike tires, and 2.5 ounces in the rear tires.

Using a little more of the beads than necessary is better than using too few.

Anyway, the Dyna Beads are a very good product.

At 60-65 MPH where the Harley shakes would normally begin
I have the standard lead weights I don't experience any shake on either of my Harleys.

I addressed this already and it's still not a good enough reason to not ditch the lead weights in favor of Dyna Beads. You can't come up with any benefit of lead weights over Dyna Beads.

It's an easy 5 minute install per tire, but....

I'd be somewhat concerned using them with sealed spoked wheels. I'd think they'd act like a bead blaster and remove the sealant, leading to catastrophic air loss at speed.
