The wheel balancers worked as advertised! No low speed wobble and runs great at high speed! I definitely would recommend to anyone on the fence about this product. |

Smooth as glass
I put these on a 2005 GL1800, the install was simply boring, straight forward and easier than removing the wheels for a tire change. Read the instructions and watch a few YouTube videos. The product is solid and works as described, it took a few miles for my brake pads to adjust but other than that no issues. I’ve only just got these so I can’t attest to gas mileage increase and or tire wear. I will say the ride is smooth and I can single hand the bike from 0-90 without a shimmy or shake. I have already recommended these to several of my rider friends and wish they had more applications for passenger vehicles. I like step #2 in the instructions “remove wheel weights, you don’t need them anymore”. |

Centramatic balancers
I have had centramatic balancers before on my Dodge diesel truck. Its not news to me that they work so well and are definitely worth the money. I was able to get 90,000 miles out of my tires on my truck and still had tread when I put a new set of tires on. Now that I have installed the balancers on my 2012 airbag goldwing, which had excellent installation instructions that came with the balancers, I can truly say they are once again amazing. I have the smoothest experience of riding I have ever had. I have found myself dragging the pegs through turns and I'm not even thinking that I'm going into the turn that fast or leaning that far. It is so smooth and feels so stable. The tires seem to become glued to the road , and even if there are bumps or chug holes it still feels stable. I just got off of a 3500 mile trip, and wish I would have put these on before I had gone. I can't wait till my next adventure that takes me down the road, as I know it will be smooth and less fatiguing than my last one. A big thanks to the guys at centramatic and wingstuff for the research and recommendation that these balancers would work on my airbag goldwing. Seems like there are so many exclusions for after market parts that might interfere with the airbag sensor s , and wingstuff assured me that thousands of people were already on the road and using them that I would have nothing to worry about. I know people who say that the beads in the tires work the same and just as well. I'm here to tell you, I have used the lead weight stick ons , the beads inside the tires and now the centramatics. By far, the centramatic balancers win hands down! I'm guessing ( not a scientist or doctorate in physics)fact that the beads run free inside the tires in an air environment, verses the centramatic balancers media runs in a specific oil and smaller circle that it makes the difference. The beads will jump off the balance spot or spots when hitting a bump or going through a turn moves off to the sides somewhat due to inertia and the line of motion. The best part of all this is I won't have to depend on the kid at the bike shop that works the weekends who install the tires and balances them to do it right. |

Well not just a gimmick
Only have had them installed on my 16 F6B since Monday 7-13-20. When I saw these and read a few of the reviews here I was like no way( my kid has used the beads in tires had a few bad experiences and a few good ) so was thinking no way. Looked for 3rd party reviews( like consumer reports kind of reviews ) found a couple and figured what the heck. Well what most of the reviews I read here that stated these things work are spot on. The known wobble is for the most part completely gone( only felt one time and am pretty sure it was the road, will be heading back there soon to make sure ). So these are installed on the tires on the bike that have 10800 miles on them let's see how much I can get out of them and if my mpg's now change. But for me well worth the cash at this point. |

Should have bought sooner...
I had a set of new tires put on and experienced a slight wobble that started at 40 mph and stayed steady to 90+. Being a motorcycle rider for 40 years, I knew immediately that it was probably the result of an improper wheel balance. Went to Wingstuff, watched the video for the centramatic wheel balancers, in addition to doing some other internet research and made the purchase. The delivery time was very quick and had them installed a few days later. Picked up the bike and the first place I went was the freeway, where I was able to ride one-handed at 80 mph. Overall, the handling improved and I really felt it during the lean in the curves. I've made a number of purchases from Wingstuff and have always been impressed with the customer service. |

They work
Put these on the bike last week and then did an 1800 mile trip this week. They work very well. The ride was noticeably smoother. I was worried about what it would feel like at parking lot speeds and maneuvers because their website says they start working at about 12 mph. However, I didn't see any issue there at all. I didn't give it 5 stars because a mechanic mentioned that it may cause some issue with my brake calipers down the road since the rotor is shifted outward ever so slightly by putting these on. Now, so far, everyone I have talked to that has installed these tells me that mechanic is 100% incorrect, so don't let that scare you. If you're going to install yourself, the installation is easy. It was the first time I had removed the wheels on a motorcycle and I got it done by following YouTube videos. I also bought a Service Manual from Honda to make sure I got the torque specs right. I did not reuse the bolts that hold the rotors and speed sensors on. Honda doesn't recommend reusing them, so I didn't. I know some folks do, as I saw that in the videos. What I noticed was those bolts were not so easy to find. Had to go to 3 dealers before I found one that had them in stock and I had to drive two hours to get them. So, make sure you have them before you start your installation project. |

Eliminated Handlebar Wobble
I got handlebar wobble when I would release the handlebars or reduce handlebar grip. It got increasingly bad. Also I noticed a groan noise during turns. This was due to tire cupping as a result of unbalanced tires. I had new tires installed and Centramatic balancers. NO MORE WOBBLE! Smooth as silk! I'm glad I did it. |

Works well
I put these on my 2002 Gold Wing.I usually replaced the Bridgestone tires every year and never had to have them balances again. |

Centramatic wheel balancers for f6b
I installed centramatic wheel balancers on my 2013 f6b and i love them . I've put about 400 mi. on them and the ride is greatly improved. When I bought the f6b brand new I thought the ride couldn't get any smoother than this and was I wrong. I feel as though I am riding on a cloud. I highly recommend these to anyone who likes to put some miles on their wing. |

Wow! What a difference!
I just had these installed with a new set of E4's. My bike has never felt so good! The front end feels super solid and stable. At any speed and in the corners, there is no wobble in the handle bars. I am hoping they keep my tires from cupping and extend the life of my tires by 30 or 40%. They are a little pricey, but I will give them two thumbs up! |
