Just installed (front and rear), along with new front brake pads. Put 50 miles on them this morning; the ride is very smooth compared to before the installation. I am still testing, but feel they perform better than just "good." They make some noise - I can hear the beads slosh around inside the tubes at As of today, I would say a good purchase. The "ride" itself is very good. I will update my post once I have more experience under my belt. |

well the new black powder coated finish on these wheel balancers are really nice. I have not installed them yet but from what others say about the ride I am looking forward to it. I am looking forward to a good season. |

I have had my Centramatic balancer on for about 5 months now. After installing, I noticed a significant difference in the handling of the bike. Having put them on my own bike, about 6 other Goldwinger have had me install them on their bikes. They all have the same positive impressions. Some here have expressed comments about the costs of the balancers. Well, I would counter that we all spend a lot of money on "safety chrome" and think nothing of it. Here is a chance to spend some money on something that will give one a ROI and at the same time there is a side benifit of improved handling and tire longivity. Money well spent! Buckskin |

The principle behind the product is dead on. Balancing your tire through it’s life has to be a good thing. However, keeping cost in mind, one has to wonder the benefit that this product has versus adding 4 Oz of balancing beads. It would be great to have testing done against both of these products. One cost you $10 bucks every tire change while the other cost $250 but only once. It's hard to think of my next 25 tire change outs before I break even. |

Just installed the new powder coated balancers on my 2006 goldwing. So far they work great with the balancing of the tires, will see what kind of milage I get out of the Bridgestones I installed with them. Took on the challenge to change my own tires with a good friend who is also a GWRRA associate, and he showed me alot about installing tires, make sure you know what you are doing before you try this yourself. Would have been nice if they had paperwork or stamps in the center that states which side goes next to the rim. I read many reviews about the paint problems others were having, and I love the powder coat, will see how they hold up to the hear and rain of the South Carolina weather. Will keep you informed with the status. |

Well, gave a review 5 months ago about the poor workmanship on the product. Paint flaking off and peeling on all 3 units. Was contacted by the company that they had a bad batch get pass them and they would replace the ones I had. I thought that this was going to be great relationship with this company. 5 months later no word or replacement. Getting ready to go on a trip so had to spend $150.00 for the dealer to put them on, flaking paint and all. Hope they work better than they look. Will give another review after a thousand miles or so, if they don't rust off first. :-)..... |

I had a set installed on 2/13 by Wingstuff, along with a set of E3's. There was no minimum speed to achieve before they started working, it was instantanous. On the 40+ mile trip home I had the opportunity to venture into the upper speed area and found that even there it was smooth as silk. I will update this in 5 to 6 months to let folks know how they are doing. |

Got the Balancers and have them install at the dealer; The comments about smooth ride 100% truth. I've benn using them for 2,000 miles and I hope that the increase of tire life will be also as good as the way my Goldwing handles at high speeds. |

I had these installed by WingStuff and what a difference! The ride is much smoother and the vibration (although slight) that I felt through the right handlebar has all but disappeared. My front tire was (prior to the install) showing some uneven wear, but the more I ride, the more that seems to be correcting itself. I spoke to Geoff, the Centramatic rep, prior to the installation and was told these can help correct wear issues. The man knows his business. After putting about 800 miles on the bike Charlie (in service at WingStuff) even noticed the tire looks like it's correcting. As ekurtike mentioned, watch your speed. After leaving WingStuff and getting on the freeway I was frustrated that traffic was moving so slowly. I looked down and saw I was doing 85. Now that's smooth. I know of one person who put on new tires and the Centramatics and now has 13k on the tires. Yup. The rear too. Tires are still in good shape. If you're on the fence, jump off and get a set. Expensive? A bit. But these are without doubt one of the best investments I've made. Or, you can go over to the GWRRA tech board, ask the question, and listen to all the old codgers, who have never used them, tell you they don't work and how they've been riding since 19 diggity three and only use rocks and spit to balance they're tires. I'll take the Centramatics. |

Just had these installed with my last service. Along with new tires, these really make the ride much smoother. Wonderful product. Hope to get more mileage out of these tires as advertised. Thanks WingStuff for the great service job. |
