He was not able to balance it because it was to wide for his machine and the place where I bought it said the axle opening was too small for theirs. But even with it not balanced I don't notice any vibration but wonder would there be a difference if it was blanced.
I had the same problem getting somone to balance my F1. and just this last week I noticed it is wearing out-of-round. I first noticied it at higher speeds. (90+) and started looking for the source and one side has worn about 3/32" more than the other(180 degrees in rotation not side to side). still rides smooth as silk below 80 so it realy doesn't bother much. Still tons of tread after 15,000 miles, but I am thinking now I will trade it out this winter. I have a friend that works as a mechanic for GM dealer that says he can balance it. I actually don't mind changin a tire after what will probably 20k. I wil change it at my convience instead of out of necessity.
well yes,
but the valve stem is at a 90 degree angle, soooooooo. it's better to lay the tire on its' side to let the little buggers dribble in via direct gravity vs. indirect gravity. they go much easier that a ways. also, take the valve core out. then replace after putting in der vitzle itsy bitsy beads.

A rocket with Triumph driver floorboards will lay on its' left side without touching any paint or chrome it will rest on the floorboard pivot . I don't have a center stand or darkside tire so I can't say how that might effect the balance. I can stand the bike back up by myself but I would still want a second person to assist with this operation. Just make sure you ease the bike down and the floor is level or sloped to the right.
