[QUOTE="RPrice, post: 1152516, member: 17952"] Brings back memories of taking my FJR to a local (Southern UT) moto shop for tire changes/balances. I finally noticed that the tire weights never changed positions on the wheel after tire changes. Also, they charged $70 to mount/balance. This prompted me to buy a No Mar changer and balancer, figuring I could pay for it fairly quickly considering how fast the Feejer "eats" tires. After I mounted/balanced my first set, I was shocked/amazed at how much smoother the FJR was at speed!! I've never lost a stick on weight, but before application, I thoroughly clean the rim with brake cleaner, and use a small tack hammer to apply plenty of pressure after sticking the weight on the rim. So far, so good. [/QUOTE]
