They pulled everything off and were having trouble with the tire beading up. They just got back with the test ride. We shall see. I've never had any trouble with these guys in the past

Ok I've walked around the show room and from the factory, 2014 Street Glide has what appears to be 8, 1/2oz weights on both sides. For the life of me I've never noticed this before!

Update: I picked up "Ole Red", put it through it's paces, All ok Jumpmaster! I am very pleased with the results. I do have some weights not near as many as before. Runs true!

My favorite tech is very precise when installing new tires.  On the last two front tires I've had installed he was able to position the tire so as to need no weights.  I'm sure this would not always work - especially if the wheel itself was very out of balance but I'm sure glad when it does.   :2vrolijk_21:
