I have a 2008 fxstsse2 and the wheel weight for the rear tire came off during a freeway ride. Needless to say handling became a nightmare. I am considering using tire beads to re-balance both wheels and would appreciate any input. Thanks, Metalgrind.

I have them on two bikes and will have them on the others when i change the tires they are great  , no ugly weights

I have been using beads for 2 years, no issues

I replaced the rear tire on my bike earlier this summer and added the beads for the first time and have not noticed any difference. When it is time to change the front tire I will be using the beads in that tire as well. Go for it.

I use the beads so I don't see the weights

Beads are the way to go on any wheel that doesn't have spokes.

Front and back currently and used them on the tires prior to this set.  I will be using them on the next set.
No ugly weights to be thrown off and dent your fenders.

When I replaced my oem wheels with Performance Machine wheels I used Dyna Beads for the first time.  Will never go back to wheel/lead weights.

OK, what in the world are you talking about "Beads"  Maybe I've been sleeping for the past 51 years but not sure what y'all are speaking of.  If anyone would like to post a link or mention a manufacture in a future post, I would like to investigate.  Only beads I know of are love...

WOW!  Thanks DJ...I will look-up dyna beads.  If this works that well, say goodbye to my weights.....

I have changed from weights to the Dyna Beads when I had new tires and wheels put on my Ultra,  and the difference is great I would never go back..

Best place to buy Dyna Beads?

I have nothing negative to say about Dyna Beads but be aware that Dunlop has an warranty exclusion against products such as Dyna Beads.  

From the Dunlop motorcycle tire website - what is not covered:

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

My dealer has a sign posted in the service area about this.  So if you had a tire warranty claim from the manuufacturer due to cupping, sidewall cracking, etc., or have an ESP claim due to puncture, cut, etc., you might run into a problem using Dyna Beads.

Still remain skeptical ...what happens to the contact patch when the tire is spinning at 60 mphisnt that causing the dyna beads to move as that spot comes into contact with the road I have seen high speed tires shown in slow motion where the contact patch at high speed barely reforms its round shape before it hits the road again ...how do dyna beads compensate for a wheel which is not true   make me a believer
