All the dyna beads threads you can handle are in the Similar Threads pane at the bottom of the screen!
I've seen lots of thread "nip-it"s attempted over the years, but never seen one succeed without police action...
Had to search to see what you were describing. Not a lot of technical info on their site and reviews are like dynabeads on some rider forums...you either love them or not. If either works over weights for you, go for it.

Yeah, same balancing concept except the Centramatic has its own raceway for the media to run in while a media-only solution (liquid, beads, etc) uses the tire as the raceway.
Centramatic does make a product for Gold Wing, I think.

For the low, low price of $200 ?
I'm thankful they don't make them for BMW.
Apologies for prolonging this thread!
I get it, it looks like weights win! Thank for all your comments.

Anyone know of a motorcycle, car, or truck manufacturer that balances with "beads" at the factory?
Anyone know of a race team using beads?
Anyone know of a tire manufacturer testing/proving a new design while balanced with beads?
There's no such thing as a free lunch and automotive maintenance requires tools.

Is this the last words on this? Well, I suppose we could talk about how far beads will take you on bald tires.

Might be a good time to point out a very valuable vBulletin feature: Ignore User.
Click the user's name in the avatar for any post of theirs.

Voila... your thread reading will no longer be polluted with that person's posts. I make liberal use of this feature, especially over on ADVRider. Doesn't mean I don't like you; just means I'd rather read without having to read your posts.
You can view your ignore list via the Settings item that is in the upper right any time you are logged in.
