By the looks of your avatar... i think you need to doudle up on the beads there....LOL...I had to look at that for aabout 15 minutes before i could read the whole sentence....

 

Yes you can, I have laced wheels with tubes of course. Dumped the Dyna Beads in through the stem.....it takes a lot of patients

 

Same thing happened to mine. When the balance weight cut loose in the fender it sounded like a gun shot.

Don't even think those weights are safe if you think about it!

Notice no difference in ride with or with out weight.

 

Yea I have one sling off the 05 Road King Custom I use to have and did not get any vibration from it put several thousand on before we got back home. Then one came off the 07 Classic I had never heard it and smooth as butter. So far they are still on the 09.

 

Guess I'm kinda old school, always static balance mine on a truing stand.

I check end play on the bearings with a dial indicator as well.

 

i balance mine with a harbor freight balancer. i have been using ride on tire sealant for several years and highly suggest it use. however my next change (prolly this next week) i will be trying out the amerseal product purchased from napa. less expensive than ride on. i am also putting it in the tires on the trailers i pull with the scoot. no need for a spare that way. i do carry a patch kit and a can of fix a flat just in case. the tire sealer acts as a balancing agent as well. i have never tried the beads but have heard good things about them
ride safe

 

This is the first thread I've seen where the mention of Dynabeads didn't spark a religious debate. I do all my own tire changes and use a static balancer. With the old dot and valve-stem routine, I've found new tires to be as much as 3 oz. off.

Because of the suspension geometry of a motorcycle, the tires aren't as vulnerable to weight issues as car wheels are. That might be the reason that (1) people who mount tires without balancing have no problems, (2) Dynabeads appear to work and (3) Dyanbeads are not marketed for car tires. The manufacturer goes out of it's way to say conventional weight/balance is preferred for autos.

I've seen some fairly technical arguments surrounding the beads. The physicists say "they can't work and are as effective as a magic wand" and the proponents say, "but they DO work, so there's the proof".

You can build a makeshift stand out of 2 x 4's to support the wheel & axle if it makes you feel better. Give it a few spins and as long as the wheel doesn't come to a stop at the same place each time you're good to go.

 

I don't put weights on my wheels and have never had a problem.
