Do a video of an unbalanced tire, throw the beads in and show the video of that. Problem solved.

I'm with you on this one. If they don't show being in balance on a spin balancer, they ain't balanced.

Centrifugal force doesn't come and go depending on whether or not the tire is touching a road surface.

I also don't see how the beads would have any effect at all, on lateral balance, since centrifugal force would dictate that the beads would seek the center of the tire only.

I've never even head of these Dyna beads. Doesn't sound like anything I want.

Great... nothing like an 11 hour drive to have 2 tires balanced. Oh well.

For me it isn't about going down, it is about comfort and my hands/arms not going numb from the shake. I can feel the slightest imperfection.

I don't know guys. All I can tell you is that I have been runing them in 4 of my own bikes. Removed 1-2 oz from each tire that I put beads in. Works great!

Put them in a few choppers that had 100mph wobbles. Beads in... no more wobble.

I have probably installed these in 2 dozen bikes myself. EVERY SINGLE ONE has had great results.

For what its worth, Drewpy was also running them in the RC as well.

i can feel it too... but it doesnt bother me lol. I don't do a lot of "cruising" where it would bother me really. I guess i got used to it over the years. Rather deal w/ a slight shake and get used to it then be anal about having it smooth as butter.

When rocking through the twisties.. it makes no difference. Hard on the gas.. hard on the brakes... pucks on the ground... its all stable.
