After riding my bike about 75 miles with no rear wheel balanced and being a 180/55 ive come to conclusion i need it balanced lol kinda shaky :Kick
The guy the i bought my tire from told me he put some little beads through his valve stem .He didnt know the name of them, so after searching online and trying differnt keywords i finally found them ..DYNABEADS !!!! Im going to order a set just to see how they work.. Has anyone ever used them B4 ??

When are you going to upgrade the front brakes to the blue pucks? I like the pic your using now. Is that what you changed?

So i tell him ill be back .. come home grab the pickup and the cash when i get to the place i see some guys loading it up on the pickup .. Now i was ready to fight .. i could of easily parted this thing<after i took what i wanted or could make to work > and still made couple grand off it .. So anyways i walk up to the landlord im liek WTF is going on .. He's like this dude gave me 600 .. im like you MOTHER :swear .. so i ask the kid who bought it where hes from he lives liek 15 min away from me .. after talkin i ask him to sell me the brakes .. hes like 200 . im like no :swear way ... that was me today running around leaving work for like 5 hours .. i couldnt belive that other guy came so quik though im still heated that the landlord diked me over for couple hundred bucks .. whats even more sad is he from the same town /village my father is from .. you woulda figured he be like were cousins just take the damn thing..

I would of been pissed if it were me. Then again, cash talks. Really, its not right of him doing that. Those kind of deals dont come very often. I missed a whole rolling chassis a couple of weeks ago for like $500.00 and it was I think an 04 R6. The engine was bad and that was it.

I have the beads in my front tire. I have no issues with them. I ran them in my jeep also. It was hard to balance a 33" tire.
