Yup, upgraded to the "Posi-Clamps" now. With this upgrade I won't think I will have any future problems... For balancing I use the NoMar tire balancer. No problems with tire balancing as far as I can tell, includes both the Harley tires and sportbike. I purchased some motorcycle DynaBeads for use on the Harley for the next changeout.

Now if you are talking about the posi clamps then yes, those are all I use on mine. Just use the standard clamps for bead breaking to lay the rim onto. I've yet to use the standard clamps to hold a rim. Good luck to you.
