I've done about 1000km since I installed them, I can't say I've found any miracles happen, but then my bike does'nt seem to have many of the ills described by other Goldwing owners. But yes, at any speed over 40 my wheels feel balanced. No wobbling, wiggling or any other ing. These went on with a set of new tires and no balancing. Works as advertised. One funny thing is the marbles slushing around at slow speeds, turn up the audio and ignore it. |

Great product, noticed the difference the moment I started down the road. Had new Dunlop Elite tires and the balancers installed and could not be more pleased. No more low speed shimmy. Worth the money and the 5 stars. Jim |

I've got them on now and instantly felt the difference on the open road, all the good reviews are spot on! time will tell for the tire wear but for now with this product on the bike the ride experience alone is enough for the purchase! |

I don't still don't know about tire life, as I've only had them about 3000 miles, but changing /nothing/ else on the bike, front tire with 3k miles, back tire with 8k, it took the 'road buzz' out of the handlebars. I was getting about 15k out of my front tire, and about 12k from the rear, so it will take me a while to determine if I will get better life with the balancers, but I will give it a double "thumbs up" just for ride enjoyment. |

This is a follow-up after putting approximately 13,000 miles on the bike (and the wheel balancers). The Good: - EXCELLENT handling. Really, really smooth ride. - I have happily had just more than 1/3 longer tire life (so far!!!) on the current tire. These are the same make/model as the previous set. I have 13,400 total miles on the tires, 13,010 were with the balancers. By way of comparison, the last set had to be replaced at 8,000 miles. That was still better than the 4,000 I got on the OEM tires. I think the current front tire will have to be replaced the next couple thousand miles, but I might get another four out of the back. The Bad: Sorry, too pleased with the product to think of anything. The Unrelated: Was hoping to get increased fuel mileage. Didn't get it. But, can't have everything, right? Bottom line: got some spare coin? Buy these! |

I am writing to tell you how centramatic probably saved my wife and I a lot of pain. My wife and I were riding home from the Oklahoma Rally a couple of weeks ago enjoying the sunny weather and listening to the radio when the bike started feeling a little funny. I told Donna “hang on something is wrong”, and making it to the side of the I-35 going from 70MPH to 0MPH really quick found out that I had a front tire that was flat. I firmly believe that the balancer’s I have on the bike kept it strait and allowed me to safely pull off the side of the road with no incident. I don’t know what would have happened had I not equipped the Goldwing with your product nor do I want to try that again but would like to thank you for a great product that probably saved me 10 times their cost as well as lots of pain and suffering and I am letting people know what I feel is a big factor as to how I made it out of such a devastating situation. Again thanks William and Donna Groh Olathe, KS Kansas Assistant District Director GWRRA And mostly friend and fellow Rider. https://www.tarnishedwings.com/ |

My buddies just had them fitted to GWs all of them give the big thumbs up! As a group we have been reading all the comments and facts about this product and it would seem all positive, better ride, smooth and like most comments it's hard to explain unless it's you testing them, mine will be on next order! time will tell with the tyre wear though i asked my mate "If we knew there was no improvement to tyre wear would he still bye them" YES! Early days yet but all is good so far! |

I recently had to replace my tires due to road hazard. However, I typically only get 8-10000 miles per set, which is not great given the cost of tires. I switched from Dunlops to Metzlers and added the balancers. I could tell when I drove out of the dealerships lot that the tires were an improvement. When going down the road it was immediately apparent that the balancers together with the new tread was heaven on earth. I never noticed undue vibration in the bike, but those handle bars are as still at 60mph as if setting parked. It actually makes driving distances less tiring. Since it was the dealerships first experience mounting these, they admitted their curiosity and put them on their dynamo. They were to say the least, impressed. They said at 60 mph the tires registered "0" vibration. Try that any other way. We'll see if the tires last longer, but either way, I see an immediate improvement in the ride. |

Because the product reviews were so high on this product, I gave them a try. I don't like the feel of cupped tires but will usually ride longer then on them then I should. I now have over 12,000 miles on the front tire with no cupping. The tire had almost 6,000 miles on it when I put the balancers on. When I ordered this product, I spent a good deal of time paying attention to the vibration in the handle bars. I wanted to do the best un-scienctific test I could to compare the difference. Yes, there is now less vibration! At the time of the install of the balancers, my rear tire was needing change and my front tire had 5,500 miles on it. Everything is still smooth and the day I installed them. Good product. |

I have the blcak painted ones and have been riding for 6000 miles and I'm impressed with how smooth and relaxed I ride, some of mi group of riders in Miami Wings FL2-E got them and also think that are a great addition to the bike. |

Skeptical at first , but went ahead an invested. I had these installed at the same time new tires (E3's)went on. I finished my 2010 summer trip after 7243 very smooth miles, tread wear was great and still have more to go. I have since added another 2200 miles. |

Installed these balancers along with a new set of Dunlop Elite 3s on my 2008 Wing. Incredible performance upgrade. I don't know which of the two installations was the most improvement, or a combination of both but I highly recommend both together. Just completed a 640 mile round trip. Tires wearing great and the balance is great. Man.....what a smooth ride. 5 stars. |
