Starting over
Had these insalled with new tires prior to last winters layup Started riding this spring was impressed with the smooth ride feel at all speeds from 20. To 105 ya got to let it breath a little . All was looking good on my testing till I had a major cord seperation at aprox 6500 miles on the rear tire was at the WingDing in Billings .Brigestone stepped up and gave me both tires even thought the front was good the rear had 3 splits 2 where 4in 3rd was almost 6in scarry. Have 4000 on the new tires barely any wear soo far. Am happy sofar with centramatics hoping for 16000 on read and 21000 on front time will tell |

Excellent product
Excellent product. Saves money. Wheels don’t need balancing. If one removes the wheel themself, many car tire shops can break the bead and will remove and mount new tire for a much lower cost than a bike shop. Tire cupping can be caused by a few things. Usually by bad suspension. One may wish to check the torque on the steering tree. Second Honda as always used ball bearings in stead of roller bearings. Changing those bearing make a big difference. Tires don’t cup nor is there a shimmy when slowing down. For the best stable rid I recommend spending the money for a Traxxion suspension system. It has saved my life more than once. Recommend that new tires are installed with the Centramatics. All weights (stickies or crimped) be removed. I’m a very aggressive rider and ride year around. I have 12 K on Dunlop Elite 3s. Thanks to Centramatics. Will be interesting to see how may miles I get out of these tire. Like the Traxxion suspension system Centramatics is the best money I spent on my Wing which has over 100K miles on it. No plans to get a newer one. Centramatics is an excellent investment! |

A product that lives up to the hype
I have been running DynaBeads on all my bikes for about 5 years (change my own tires with a NO-Mar) and am a big believer in dynamic balancing and the benefits it brings. I installed the Centramatic wheel balancers about 750 miles ago and from the very first mile I was stunned by the how smooth it was. I am often let down by the hype of most products so I was very pleased to find one that exceeded my expectations! DynaBeads are great and the Centramatic system is noticeably better. I also appreciate not having to mess with the beads any more on my Goldwing. Now if we could only get Centramatic to release versions for all our bikes. |

Installed these before leaving for California. 5600 miles later after returning home, Ln I am very pleased with my Centramatics. Ride is a lot smoother and negligible tire wear! |

Jury is Still out
I just purchased these Centramatic wheel balancers and installed myself, Very easy install, took about two hours for all three wheels. I replaced the rotor bolts on the front wheel as suggested, I would say the rear wheel took a little longer due to the nature of removing the rear wheel, but putting the balancer on was a breeze. I have ridden the bike at multiple speeds and I have noticed a slight difference as was mentioned earlier the rear tire has about 5000 miles on it so it is cupped, however I did put a new front tire on so we will see how the mileage is affected, hopefully in positive way. I am expecting about 18K miles out of the front tire now. We will see how much further the rear tire can last. So far not disappointed but I willed you know in a later post. Take care and thank you Wing Stuff for a job well done delivering these quickly as always. |

Centramatics
Very smooth ride! I just had them installed a couple of weeks ago so I'm not sure about the tread life, but I'm glad I purchased them. Way more responsive steering, cornering and braking! Also rides like you're on brand new roads, so less fatigue too! |

Absolutely great so far.
Installed these while there was about 10,000 miles on the front and about 7,000 miles on the rear of Dunlop E3's. The tires still have plenty of mileage on them but of course the "normal" cupping and a bit of vibration you experience with older tires. The bike now feels like it has new, freshly balanced tires on it. The only indicator that their not is the road noise in the curves from the cupped tires. I am looking forward to tracking the mileage on the next set of new tires I have installed. I'll revisit and update this review then. |

Time Will Tell
got these about a month ago was waiting to put on due to end of life for my Dunlop elite e garbage tires . Thesewill be tested with a new pair of Bridgestones. iv e had my 2012 for 4 seasons and over 47,000 miles including original tires this is my 3rde set of stones and ive had 1 elite3 front and 2 rears last rear was extreamly disappointing with only 8500 miles on it so back to original but will have to amend review later as Minnesota means storage time for me as soon as my girl is back from the shop for tires and the brake recall they just got parts for. |

Corrected Steering Wobble
Performed as promised and corrected a really bad steering wobble at 40 mph. If they increase tire life, they well eventually pay for themselves! Smooth as silk! |

OH!YAA!
Is what they claim. I have 18,000 on the front Brigstone and 15,000 on RR Brigstone and is time for new tires now. The front is cupped to the touch but don't feel it in the ride, I think all brands howl in the corners after high miles. Dunlap elite's did the same.Rear tire wears out before the front. Well worth the investment when without them was around 8 to 10,000 mi. |
