[QUOTE="Barry 07 FJR1300AE, post: 884904, member: 20093"] Supposedly this isnt rocket science and has been being done for years. Anyway here are the results. On the rear I had 2 1/2 oz of lead weigh and 2 oz on the front. I removed the weights and rode the bike. I could notice more vibration but nothing crazy. Next I removed the wheels and broke done one side of the tire(very easy). I poured in 1 1/2 oz(app 200 pellets) in the front and 2 1/2(app 350 pellets in the rear). BTW I measured out 1 tsp of the pellets then counted them(42). It will be close enough and as per dynabeads overage have no affects. Washed wheels and reinstalled. Washed bike and went for a ride. Bike is smooth as silk. I cant say if it is smoother than with the lead weights (no problems before) but it is definately just as smooth and definately smoother than with no weights. I didnt thing about setting my cruise as speed and then releasing the bars as I do alot. Also I didnt do a slow to stop without hands on bars to check that way. My bike was smooth and straight before. I will get back on that. I take that as a completed test and they seem to work great. The main thing will be to see what the tires look like at the end of life point. Also to see what the pellets look like when I pull the tires off. The main thing is 5000 pellets at $12 buck at walmart(0.20 g) will last a life time for you and your buddies. This also makes it easier to change your own tires or pay a tire shop less than a stealer to do it. If you need a visual representation watch the youtube video on my first post. I am gonna make a water bottle test device as they did and try it myself with the Airsoft pellets. Questions? [/QUOTE]
