Well I've owned my 2010 GL1800 for 13 or so months now and I've put on 12,800 miles weekends only and wore out the stock Dunlop tires whereby I have put two new Dunlop Elite III on the day before yesterday. When I had the tire put onto the rims at the dealership I asked them to NOT balance either the front or the rears. I then took it out on its first run hoping these Centramatics worked as I was told they would. They work absolutely perfectly and the bike is as smooth as it can get. These are well worth the price and I now know as I begin to wear these tires in and rubber is removed from varous areas of the front and back tire my tires will always be perfectly in balance making for a smooth ride until the next pair go on about a years from now. I would suggest this product to all Goldwings and if they work for the other bikes as well as they did for me I'd adbise them to buy them now. I only wish I has a set to try on my 2012 Honda Civic EX commute vehicle. Wink Wink !!

I got my first set of Centramatic Goldwing wheel balancers in spring of 2010, I could not believe the difference in the ride. After trying it out on all types of road conditions, I got another set for my wifes bike. She doesn't understand to technical stuff but states "It does ride nice". This is truly something you should try and buy.

Stainless Centramatic Goldwing Wheel Balancers not look nicer on the bike than the black to me, but riding over a graded prepaved road blew my mind. I couldn't believe the stability and the minimal vibration in the handle bars. These balancers actually give the Goldwing a more comfortable ride, I suggest anyone who rides let this be the first accessory you add on.

Stainless Centramatic Goldwing Wheel Balancers... I installed with new E-3's (balanced) tried, and then I took off the (balance weights) I felt no difference and have run nearly 9M since. I'm really happy and satisfied the Stainless Centramatic Goldwing Wheel Balancers work.

Well I didn't get to much of a test on this product. I had two Conti. tires installed with these. Without a static balance in the front and using the wheel balancers I got very bad cupping and the rear tire didn't last long enough for a review. As for the front besides the swishing of the beads at low speeds. You have to account for the wheels not being properly being balanced. Check this out in order the the wheels to accually be balance with this product you have to be going at a reasonable speed for the bead to adhere within the cylinder itself. So I figured at low speeds your wheel is not being balanced and may run into some unusual wear. So here's a question for you all when you had your tire put on did you have the wheel balance before you put the centramatic balancers on that's why it's working for you. Or did you not balance your wheels then put the balancers on. Try that let me know I'm curious..to see if you get the same reaction. Oh by the way I willing to sell my wheel balancers to anyone cheap email me.

Update, 3rd entry, can't help myself. These are without any doubt the best item you can add to your Wing. I just replaced the rear tire that had just over 16,000 miles. Could have went more but was headed out for a long trip so I changed it a little early. The front tire is still looking good! The ride has been smooth as a babies butt the entire time. Smooth alone is worth the price but the mileage is beyond anything I have ever encountered. Before Centramatics, maybe 12,000 miles if I was lucky. With Dunflops, maybe 8,000 miles. Thanks again to Rick and Don at Wingstuff and Goeff at Centramatics! Great combination. They are the best.

I've put Centramatic wheel balancers and tapered steering bearings torqued to 28 ft pounds on my '07 1800. By far the two best decisions I've ever made! No more infamous 1800 wobble and a ride smoother than my truck. What's not to like about that? Put off a new windshield, backrest, wind deflectors or any other accessory and get these two things done first!!! Remember, some of life's best lessons are learned the hard way. Don't be one of those guys!
