The ride is like silk. Of course, my ride was like silk prior to my purchase and installation of these balancers so I must admit that I did not think these were worth the expense at first. After riding around for a few weeks I have noticed an improvement. My bike was smooth before but now at points it feels as though I am riding on air; like driving an Escalade. I think the balancers may have helped round out the tires a little. I look forward to seeing how much longer my tires will last because these definitely seem to be doing something. Also... you can hear the swishing of the beads at low speeds but it is not loud enough to be annoying or even noticeable unless you are listening for them. With the radio on I hear nothing. Plus you don't have to worry about them getting caught in your valve stem like Dyna Beads. Overall a good product but may not be a necessity or a “must-have”. |

After reading all the reviews I am determined to buy a sent for my wing. Going to start saving now. I would like to Todd's negative comment. He commented that with a $10.00 balancing fee for each time had balancing beads installed it would take 25 changes to break even. Todd don't forget it will take you even longer to break even because your tires will LAST LONGER |

Stainless steel - nice! I too purchased them from WS before the new stainless steel set came out from Centramatic. I am wondering if WS can arrange with Centramatic a free exchange for those that wish to have the stainless steel? Fantastic ride - super! |

I know that there are a lot of people wishing they had waited to buy these things now that they are stainless steel. I ordered mine and they were sold out and ended up getting the new ones. that being said I know they work good because of all the reviews and now they look great. they even look better than the pictures indicate. glad i got lucky and got the new ones |

Easy to install and what an improvement to the handling and the ride. I didn't tell my wife that I bought them and the first time she was on the bike after they were installed she asked me why the ride was so smooth. |

I bought this product few months ago and a wait until I put my GL 1800 for 12,000km service. I ask the technician to unstall the balancer and the WE later I ran a 350km trip. WHAT A DIFFERENCE !!! GREAT and very confortable, no more vibration. DO NOT LOOK AT PRICE, THIS IS A FANTASTIC PRODUCT. Jean-Luc, Normandy / FRANCE |

I added these and note an immediate difference. Then I went on a 1,991 km ride. The bike runs smooth, there are no vibrations through the handle bars. Even the navigator (wife) comments that the ride is smooth. |

After reading the reviews and grumbling about the price I purchased a set of these balancers. I had about 7000 miles on my original tires and had noticed some cupping especially in front. After installing the Centramatic balancers I also noticed as others have how smooth the ride is and confident the cornering has become. There is no vibration or wobble what so ever. I have put about 600 miles on the Wing since the balancers have been installeh and the cupping is evening out. |

Ok I've had the wheel balancers on now for a couple of months. the higher the speed the smoother the ride. I too can hear the bearings however it is only when I am backing or moving forward very slowly. No problem with that. I have had no problem with paint. My roter covers conceal the balancers. It is a product worth spending the money on. Headed on a 3 day ride this weekend...really looking forward to it now! |

I put another 200 or so miles on the wheel balancers. Yes - definately a difference and a smooth ride. As per my earlier review, you can hear the beads sloshing around a bit at slower speeds ( |

In my past review I gave 3 stars because the paint was peeling off. The company contacted me, after reading the review and explained they did have a bad batch go out. They sent me another set, overnight, and I had them installed. They work great. No wheel weights on the wheels and at 50 or 90 mph the wing is as smooth as glass. They work great. The local city police department here use Goldwings as their police motorcycles and have installed a set on one of the traffic bikes. I talked to one of the traffic cops and he said they are great and hope to get them on all the police wings. |
