Default Dynabeads question

Do I need to get a special valve stem for my 08 ultra for the beads. Best place to purchase. And most important what do you guys who use them think.
Thanks

No, you don't need a special valve stem. You can buy the beads direct from Innovative Balancing or do a dealer search from their website. I do my own tire mounting and I have had no issues using the beads.

I have had 1 stick in the valve core when I had to add air. I just pushed it down a couple of times and aired it up to the correct pressure. No problem.

Someone posted on here a while back the "Dunlop Fine Print" that stated the beads void the tire warranty. Not bashing, just saying...
It was on the Dunlop website.

If you get the old style valve core with the spring on it, no more problems. Otherwise, if you roll the tire til the stem is below the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position, the beads usually don't get stuck when checking pressure. Not always, but usually.

That's what I thought. Mine was at 7 o'clock so I could get to it under the saddlebag.

Dynabeads work. Best balancing you will get. Jake Wilson is the cheapest place I've found for Dynabeads and tires. Great customer service and fast shipping.

We use Dyna Beads exclusively to balance our tires - used them for about 2 years now and have had great success - Highly recommend them. Ryd Safe!
