tire balancing beads?

[Semper Fi]

I am about to put new tires on my FJR. does anyone use these balancing beads? I was told by a guy riding a Harley that it makes the bike smoother. Would he really be able to tell? Harley do nothing but shake!! Are they worth it or should I just stay with the regular way of balancing them?

I always stick to the KISS principle.

A good tire balance should be all you need.

Do people use beads? Yes. Do they work? There are several long threads in this Forum where the general consensus is that there is nothing better than real wheel weights using new age iron wheel weights. The general consensus is that a static balancer does as good a job as you would need for any situation.
