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. |

I have a 08' Wing with 48,000 miles, just put my fourth set of tires on. Each set of the Dunlop 250's and the first set of Dunlop E3's lasted 16,000 miles. No complaint on the mileage but if we can get 30% plus more miles with the Dyna Beads it will be a cheap investment. Also I saved on not having the tires balanced. This time around I put the 70 series rear tire on. The Dyna Beads are working great with the first 1,000 miles on the tires, no shimmy at the low speeds and none at any speed so far. So you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a great ride. |

I installed these and just changed my tires Dunlop E3s out after only 11000 miles. It wasn't that the tires were worn out but the front tire had developed a ridge as a result of a 2400 mile trip that was almost all toll road with no twisties to even out the wear. The reason for three stars is the difficulty in getting the beads into the tire and I still got some cupping on the front. I do have to give them credit on the perfomance as far as smoothing out the ride on rough cross cut roads and high speeds. I just had new tires put on and will be using the centramatic balancers instead. |

The beads are working great. Smoother ride and it seems that finally I have taken care of the tire cupping problem on the front tire that has haunted me for years. I have also put these in my car tires and have noticed that a shimmy problem I had at around 72mph is gone. I found that the best way to get them into the bike tire was to lay the bike on it's side and they went in fast. Highly recommend for car or bike. |

Some people think this is 'voo-doo', if it is - voo-doo that WORKS! I've never had a smoother ride than with my Bridgestones and DynaBeads! I'll never do without this combination. |

I installed the beads in my front tire with the new Avon cobra. Wow no more goldwing 35 mile a hour shake. Much better now 3000 miles later and still the front tire shows no sign of ware. Smoth riding from now on I will never get another ballance again. I give them 4 stars because the little hose and bottle did not work to install them. After installing them on the new front tire I wanted to put it on the back tire but could not do it without takeing the tire off. Worth every penny you spen on them. I put 2 oz on the front tire and 3 on the back. Oh don't let them charge you a ballance. |

The bike was smooth before - especially compared to my Vulcan. Added 3 oz rear and 2 oz front of the beads. It's a brand new bike! Before, I had shakes and shimmies I didn't even know I had . . . not anymore! I'm ordering some for my Vulcan! |

Installed into tires about 1000 miles ago, I was not sure about these when I got them, but I will have to say that I have noticed a differance in the ride, every bump feels smoother so my buddy bought them and he agrees with me on this. It's a weird feeling of smoothness, so I do feel that the beads are worth the money. My only complaint is that the tube they send you is a little short and the beads did not want to go in the valve stems. The cure is load beads in tube and hit with air and they will go right in the stem, using a vibration tool as the instructions suggested was worthless, did not work. Use air and you will be done in about 2 minutes per wheel. I will review again after my trip next month, will be doing around 4500 mile ride so we will see if they help with cupping or not as I have heard... Another review to follow |
