Only thing I've noticed with mine is that with running Dunlop (E 3's ) the beads void any and all warranty on the tires. Other than that they're good.

I'm not for or against Dyna beads,they may work perfectly, but there is something fishy about that you tube video. When that light is strobing the wheel should have a stop motion look to it but all parts of it remain frozen(the ***** and retaining stap in exactly the same place) and the flashing pattern of the light is not really consistent so it wouldn't be capturing everything in the exact place with every strobe.

FWIW to those considering these, in the Oct. 2006 issue of Motorcycle Consumer News, Dyna Beads were tested and found to be ineffective. I couldn't find an on-line copy of that test but did find a summary from the Dec. 2010 issue:
"MCN evaluated the Dyna Beads on a reader's suggestion back in October of 2006. Although the tiny white ceramic beads have apparently found favor with long-haul truckers, we tested them in a Honda 599. Using a shop's spin balancer, we checked the bike's rear wheel, which had 1.6 oz. of balance weights in place. The balancer agreed with the amount and location of the weights. After installing the specified two ounces of beads in the rear tire and then removing the rim weights, the balancer found an out of balance condition. This test was repeated five times and the balancer continued to call for the replacement of the 1.6 oz. of rim weights in the same location. Over-the-road testing was next. Without the rim weights, the rear wheel produced noticeable vibration and the installation of the beads gave a barely perceptible improvement. Also, the weight of the beads added so close to the tire tread gave a noticeable increase in gyro stability, making the steering heavier. We also tried them on a car and were disappointed. Bottom line: Save your money for a proper spin balance."
I have no first-hand experience with Dyna Beads and am not trying to rain on anyone's picnic, but just offer this info as a FYI.
