I have seen on various 4x4 sites where people have used the Airsoft BBs instead of the Dynabeads and have said that they work quite well. I've even seen a couple of motorcycle forums where some people are using the Airsoft and some are using regular BBs. Has anyone any experience using these "alternative spherical balancing weights"? Since the Dynabeads company says that the advantage of the Dynabeads is their density, then why not just use lead pellets like we use when reloading shotgun shells? For many of us, that would be something that we wouldn't even have to go out an buy. And for those that don't reload, then you just tell them to put 1 shotgun shell in the front tire and 2 in the rear tire.

The advantage of the dynabeads is that they are specifically made of ceramic (less harmful to the environment upon discarding them) and will keep their integrity throughout the life of their use. I installed them in the fall of '09 on my Fatboy along with a new set of Metzler Marathons. I ride my bike like I stole it...hard and fast...absolutely no vibration problems so far. I am very pleased with the dynabeads.

As someone who casts their own bullets, I'm not that paranoid about a little lead...

Haven't put them in my new ride yet but had them put in another bike last year when I had new tires installed. Might have been just the new tires but man what a difference. After researching these for some time, I plan on putting them in whenever I have new tires installed but will retrofit my other bike when time allows. I found numerous posts where installing weights for static balance and then installing dynabeads is a bad thing to do.
