I added Dyna Beads on my 09 at about 5,000 miles in the oem tires. This bike has TMPS. Put the bike on the center stand, rotate wheels so the valves are NOT at 6 oclock. Deflate tires and remove the valve spring core. I used the supplied applicator tube on the valve stem, stuck it on the stem and poured some beads in. The other end of the tube, I had my compressor ready with an air blowgun and proper sized nozzle to fit in the tube and gave it a quick shot of air to blow the beads in, add more beads from the bottle and blow in some more, takes just seconds to get all the beads in. Put the valve spring core back in and set air pressure. Some people get a longer applicator tube at a hardware store and just pour in all the beads at onceinto the applicator tube, shoot beads into the tire with short bursts of air. I now have 13,400 on the oem tires. |

Picked these up as friends who have them swear by them. A piece of cake to insert into the tires. The price is also right as they are 1/4 of the price (per ounce) compared to the same sold in my area. |

I have used these on both of my bikes for several years, and would not use anything else. The ride is smooth as glass at any speed until you get new tires. The tires last longer since they don't need to re-balance as the tire wears down (like anyone ever does that). Best side effect is there are no ugly weights on the rims. I do buy the big 40 oz. bag directly from the mfg. Wings take 2 oz. in each tire & so does the Rune. |

The faster I go the more impressed I am with these beads. After installing a new dunlop elite III tire on the frony of my 1995 wing I drove to a local parking lot to scuff it up doing figure 8s. I hit the road and it was smooth as silk. Beads or bust from now on!!! |

Couldn't figure how to edit my previous post :>) One thing I just remembered is to make sure the old weights are taken off. I told the shop that mounted my tires that I didn't want the tires balanced. When I picked the bike up and headed home, I could feel the tires "hopping". Pulled over to turn around and go back to the shop and noticed the old weights still on the wheels. Popped them off, and voila', everything was wonderful ! |

Don't know whether or not these have extended the tire mileage, since I put E-3's on my GL18 for the first time at the same time I tried the Dyna Beads for the first time. I have 18,000 + miles on the E-3's now, and will be replacing them soon. Just no prior base line to compare for mileage extension. I will say though that over that 18,000 miles I have never before enjoyed as smooth a riding experience. If the road is good, it always feels like I have just had the tires freshly (and perfectly) balanced. At the low cost, it's worth 5 ++++ stars just for that smooth ride. |

Well I just put 2 new Bridgestone tires on and had the Dynabeads added. WOW what a difference in the ride from the older tires that came with the 2001 Goldwing I bought. I wish I had done this 4 months ago when I purchsed the bike. All I can say is that I have put 732 miles on the new setup and I am quite pleased well worth the small investment. |

Not sure how to rate this, so going for the top mark. In the Spring, I had two Bridgestone tires installed on the bike. Since then, I have had a nice smooth ride. Not really sure what the beads are doing for the tire, but the technician said the tires will wear better with these inside. Have heard that those bikes with the automatic pressure reader on the stem have a problem with the beads. I don't have this system installed on my '02 so don't have any problems. Cheap price so worth the try to see how well they perform. |

Installation is a breeze.... obtain a 3 foot tube section at your local hardware store and with the valve stem at the 8 o'clock position and the bike on it's center stand, remove the valve core and secure the clear tube to the valve stem. Add 1 oz of beads to the tube while the tube is supported by the ground and holding up the other end slightly. Carefully apply 3-5 lbs air into the tube and watch the beads flow into the tire. If beads get stuck, lightly tap on the valve stem while holding the tube so the beads back flow into the tube. Continue operation until 2 OZ are added to the tire. Total time is less than 5 minutes to complete adding the beads and inserting the valve stem. Enjoy the ride... |

Don't get caught thinking any product out there will put a stop to steering stem wobble as it won't. Keep in mind that Honda has as a routine maintenance item to have the steering stem clean and inspected every 8K miles. Oh did I forget to mention you have to retorque during installation???? Yep you guess it, your lower bearing will be dry and your top lock nut has backed off exposing the lower bearing to outside elements. Have tapered bearings installed by a pro and make sure they know how to torque the upper retention nut to the lower. Now that you have taken care of the steering stem, give Dyan Beads a run for there money as the ride is like glass at all speeds. |

I'm not sold on this concept yet. Higher speeds they seem to work well but low speeds my bars wobble more than usual. It maybe due to soap/lubricant inside the tire from the tire install holding up the beads...not sure. No issue getting the beads in. Cut a very small piece off the applicator tip and don't allow the tube to fill. If it does, stop pouring, keep tapping the tube until the beads empty into the tire then start again. I laid my bike on it's side to do this task. Remember to place carpet or some kind of protection under the shiny parts. |
