Friend of mine is interested in using these in his Ultra.  Wondering if anyone has any experience good or bad.

Jerry, interesting read. I've read everything on their site and it sounds feasible. I may just try some, they're cheap enough and report back. Why not?

Thanks Jim.  I did a search but must have done something wrong since I did not find the link you posted.  Looks like at least one member recommends them.  Like you said Chief, cheap enough to give 'em a try and see how they work.

So far I've found one forum where a member tried them and had nothing but positive comments. Looks good.

I just ordered some for the bike and some for the truck too. I'll report back soon.

From Dunlop M/C Tire Web site:Not covered.

Tires injected with dry/liquid balancers or sealants, or in which anything other than air has been used as the support medium.

So looks like Dunlop doesn't like the beads?

I'm not to worried about tire warranty as I've never had a reason to use one yet, but I've had plenty of opportunity to use unbalanced / under balanced tires. In my opinion, there's no down side to using them.

I can do that for you already, Chiefy! 

I've been using them in both tyres for a few months (before the end of the riding season). A bit difficult to get in (via the valve) at first, but once you master the technique, easy enough.

Seem to work just fine - no hint of either wheel being anything but in balance, and they let me get rid of the awful stick-on weights that would surely eventually lead to corrosion on the wheel rims.

Conclusion - seem to work just fine, worth the money.

Thanks Jim. Mine should be here this week. I got some for the bike and for the truck. I have heard mostly great things about them, but have found out that Motorcycle Consumer News reviewed them 10/2006 and poo-pooed on them. Everyone else seems to like them.

I'll be interested to hear whether you like them as much as me then, Chiefy!

Now stop replying to my posts so I can go to be - 2:24AM here!

It's Ok to reply, just wait 5 minutes to fool me so I go off to bed!

Luv 'em! I use them on 35" Mud tires on my truck. A friend has one of those miniature choppers, good to about 65 mph. He had a terrible wobble that cleared up completely with some beads I gave him.
