has any tried "dynabeads" yet 4 balancing? they are awesome. weight balancing always leaves an area of speed range where its not so smooth (vibration) with dynabeads you`re just left with "typical" xs650 vibes . and the bonus is u can do it yourself, and the UGLY weights are not on your rims dynabeads.ca/

It appears to be a very interesting product. Quite a few applications.

it really is awesome, was a bit sceptical @ first coz we dont have much of a contact patch as it is, and the tried n true meathod of "weighting" wheels has always worked. its a bit of a pain in the @$$ to put into the tire, but i`ll be damned if its not BETTER. 1oz front, 2oz rear....now that vibe between 48mph and 60mph is gone. usually found with weights there was always one "vibe" zone somewhere in the speed range COLOR ME IMPRESSED
