Wheel balancers for sale

I have made several new balancers after a recently resurrected post I started 4 years ago generated some interest in my wheel balancer design.

(More picshttps://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/130534-new-wheel-balancer-evaluation/

This is a precision tool with hardened and ground shaft and double shielded bearings. The shaft is 16" long which allows plenty of room for the rear wheel. (even for darksiders!)

The collar clamps tighten very securely onto the shaft without marring the surface. Allen wrench is included.

I've used mine for many tire changes now and it works very well and is easy to set up. Also have used it on some other bikes (R1200RT and C14) so I guess it is pretty universal. (my buddy with the RT did have to provide an adapter for the rear wheel)

Price for you forumites is $80 plus shipping.

I ship it in a 2" x 18" cardboard tube that makes a handy storage container as well. Picture below shows what is included. Wooden V blocks may vary depending on what hardwood I find in my shop.

PM me for additional info, etc.

Thanks,

Russ

Good idea to spring load the one side. Should make it easier to tension up so that the precision bearings, not wheel bearings, are in play for thus ensuring a better balance.

Also, on my balancer, and I believe on the Marc Parnes as well, the set screws in the two cones that secure them to the shaft do tend to mar the steel shaft over time and multiple uses, especially if you get a bit over-zealous with the allen wrench.

With the clamp collars that FJReady uses, that will never happen.

Genius! :thumbsup:

Sent you a pm. I am very interested. Depends on shipping cost to here.

Shipping cost to Canada approx $16 USD according to local PO.

Rec'd mine yesterday, looks exactly like the picture, well made with close tolerances. Very nice.

Thanks FJReady!

Where were you two months ago when I bought a Marc Parnes? Based on the pic alone it looks like you have a superior design.

Here's hoping you sell a shitload of them.

Thanks John and Mark. I appreciate the kind remarks. I take some pride in making good stuff for my FJR peeps.

I will take on PM sent.

Thanks again!

I have a few more from last batch ready to ship. PM if interested.

Shane, youze 'n me be too slow writing. Russ just wrote and told me that the last one is spoken for and will soon be moving to a new home where it will be used and loved.

If you make another batch, I'm in.

Well, I'm sorry I missed a set. Will be watching for next run.
