Has anyone used these on their Buells yet? if so did you like them? especially using Shinko tires? I've heard about the wobble with shinko, any opinions of if this will cancel it out?

I've heard about the wobble with shinko,

internet BS. shinkos are yokohamas from plant in south korea.
have used approx. 9 sets on personal bikes including XB's.....and sold over 50 sets. if balanced properly by someone who knows what they're doing there is no wobble or any other weird characteristics.

Thanks! saves me some time, I will be doing this on my next set of tires.

you wouldn't happen to want to give a set away then huh? . I've got a pair on order a Shinko 005 for the front and a 009 Raven in the back (I live in Socal and we have the Rain grooves all over, i've heard nothing but great things about the Ravens, but the fronts don't do so well down here)

The problem with static balancing is that the balance changes as the tire wears. I didn't wanna wait for DynaBeads to ship since I had exposed thread, so I weighed out some airsoft pellets and put those in. My ride is buttery-smooth on my Dunlop Q3's on my XB9R.

no i wouldn't

LOL the motorcycle manufacturers who built and shipped 17,841,995 units for the 2014 model year would disagree

I run tire beads. But that is just because I changed my tires myself and hate stick on wheel weights. I can't really provide any feedback, good or bad. They roll smooth. No noticeable vibration. But then again I can't say that it wouldn't be smooth without the beads as I matched tire to rim as best as possible. I run the tire beads in Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tires.

It's simple physics. The balance weight is in direct proportion to the weight of the tire. As the tire wears, and loses weight, the required balance weight reduces as well.

Though you'd rather call names than argue science.

No weights in or on my wheels and feels smooth
