DYNA BEADS AGAIN

Got the Dyna Beads today. Installed and did a short test ride. Couldn't go to far. All the rain California and the mid west got finally arrived in Georgia. It took me about 45 minutes to do front and rear. I took the wheel weights off and the bike is smooth as silk up to 80 MPH. Wish I had known about them long ago. NOTE: They tell you if you have 90 degree valve stems you have to take the wheel off. NOT TRUE. The motorcycle kit comes with a plastic dispensing bottle and a short piece of tygon tubing. The tubing goes over the valve stem, after you remove the valve, and you dump a small ammount of beads into the tube. I used a small engraver to vibrate the beads into the tire. Just repeat the process until the 2 oz. of beads are in the tire. You can use any kind of vibrator. I'm sure you can find one around the house .....
somewhere.

You mean Nico's vibrating butt plug will work too?

Hi oldbiker,

I'm just getting back into the bikes after many years away from them, this might be a stupid question but what is the purpose of these Dyna beads?? ???

Anyway I'm not sure if i can put my hands on a vibrator ::)

Lets see. Yes Nico's vibrating butt plug will work. Dyna Beads replace wheel weights. They claim to extend tire life and prevent cupping. Go to www.innovativebalancing.com and check it out. They sell a motorcycle kit for for under $13.00

I don't know if the dyno beads would be the same size, but I have a friend that puts BB's in his tires on a motorhome.

Ron, The Dyna Beads are really, really tiny. Not as big as a pin head and they are ceramic. They make absolutley no noise.

Oldbiker, you know your stuff! thanks for the write up as I'm contemplating using that when I get new tires and keeping the lead weight off the rim. I've not heard one negative comment in years about the beads. Did you say they are not as big as a Nico???

Thanks for your review of the beads. My brother and I are going to get them and positive reports from forum members make me feel confident in using this product.

Thanks for letting us know, oldbiker......I'm thinking about installing dyna beads next time I buy a new set of tires....(even tho Todd is going to stop using Nico's butt plug and Nico is a pin head). Keep us posted on how they are doing...
