    Ok, so I had to get a new front tire. (Metzeler. Also on back tire) I was in a rush to get to Houston, and the tech at the Honda shop talked me into getting a different type of tire balanceing. Both front and back tire. I told him I didn't care as long as I can have the bike by the end of the day. It cost the same price as putting on the weights. This new style is with beads. I haven't heard of this and when the tech started getting all technical he lost me in the conversation. Has anyone else done this and can explain how this works in laymans terms. The only thing I got from the conversation is that it should improve tire wear by 40%. Thanks.

    They're called Dyna Beads. They constantly re-distribute themselves inside your tires to keep nearly perfect balance while in motion regardless of speed. Because they constantly move, a re-balance after however many miles is no longer needed. I'm actually about to get some for my tires after talking to a local rider who has used them and loves them. Check out the demo video @ Evolution Cycles - Innovative products for motorcycles. Should clear things up a bit with the ol visual aids.
