Have had these on my 1500 for over a year now. While on a trip through Arizona last year I lost a ( or some ) front wheel weights. The bike shook badly at highway speeds. Put in the Dyna Beads as a "quick fix". Never did have the tire rebalanced as the Dyna Beads have taken care of it just fine. 10K miles later I think I well try them on the next set of tires I put on bike. |

My initial review was on 8/2/2009 (still there!), and I thought I should update. I have had Metzlers my whole biking life, and yes, they have a stigma of cupping and trashing quickly. Most I ever got was 10,000+, but I desire their stickiness. I only make this point, to make another. I am on the same set of Metzlers I had mounted at my 8/2009 post. No weights. I now have 14,000+ miles on this set and they are showing MINIMAL cupping (and I mean minimal). They are silky smooth at all speeds, and the tread is still very deep. I have no doubt they have 5,000 to 7,000 miles left to go. My theory is a combination of the beads and the All Balls tapered bearings (a MUST on our bikes) have lengthened the life of the tires. That, or I was blessed with a surprise from the Metlzer Tire Gods. I doubt the latter. Oh, and I have had racetech springs since 2006. Not to be long on this, but do I believe the beads are an easy and very inexpensive way to keep our tires balanced through their life. |

The beads seem to work just as described. I installed them in a 2009 Goldwing/Roadsmith Trike. I put 2 ounces in the front tire and 3 ounces in the rear tires. |

I installed these on my 2003 GL1800. Worked so well, no tire cupping, tires last longer and took out any vibration. Do not notice any low speed vibration anymore. They are so easy to install. Have installed on my other bike, now gonna install into my truck as well. |

Iv'e used dynabeads on my last three bike for over 25000 miles. great product , I think they reduce vibrations. One trick I've learned when installing without breaking the bead is to remove the valve core and to drill (3/16)out the air opening in the stem without damaging the internal threads, then vibrate the beads ins. This makes it a lot faster. Replace the valve core with short stems if you have long stems. |

I continue to use these with all tire changes done. Great cost effective product from start to finish of tire life. |

These beads are great, but were being a real pain to install. After tapping and tapping on the valve stem with a screwdriver, I got the bright idea to take the vibrator from the bedroom and put it against the valve stem! Voila, the beads went in! (your results may vary) |

wow....is all I can say. What a cool product and it works! I do have an easy way to load a packet of beads through a valve. I used my tire pencil style gage and tapped it repeatedly between the valve stem and the spoke next to it. It helped the beads flow quickly in. Stuff works just as they say it does. |

Added these when I mounted my new 'Stones. Thought I would give it a try. After watching the videos it sounded like snake oil. But it is not. Ride is now very smooth to about 70mph (so far). Vast improvement, but then the old tire was heavily cupped and past due. Used my Slime compressor to vibrate the tube to get the beads to go in. After one figures out the where to hold the vibration source and the angle of the tube, it is interesting to watch the beads go in. Only down side I can see is that one can not use a emergency sealer with them. And getting them in the tire thru the valve stem might be tough if one has inside the tire TPMS sensors. Don't ever see going back to old-fashioned stick-on weights again. |

5 stars above 5 stars, they changed my riding frequency from 2 times a week to 5 times a week saving me about $40 bucks a week in gas money so they paid for themselves the first week. Yeah they can be a pain to put in or I am a moron, the front tire I had to break the bead which I did on the bike and the back went straight in it only took about fifteen minutes but DAMN it helped a ton. |

I installed these on my Honda Valkyrie after hearing so much about them. They sure improved the ride from having lead weights. These are a must! |
