White Walls & Balancing Balls 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Bridgestone White Walls Front G703 Rear G702
Counteract Balancing beads 2oz per wheel.

Well I got them put on last night at the Dealership and I'll say this it rides smoother and handles better than the Pirelli Rt 66's with Ride On in them and 7000mi wear & tear.

All kidding aside it rained all day today and I haven't rode it more than the dealers the blue craps still on them BUT it did feel nicer around town in that 0-30 mph range Counteract talks about.

We'll see

Love my Dyna-Beads. Really like the idea that my tires are getting rebalanced throughout the entire life of the tire.

Re:White Walls & Balancing Balls 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago  


Who wouldn't love Dyna Beads I was intrigued by the thought of no wheel weights I was sold the minute I read about them.

Then One day a friend tells me about Counteract beads That work from 0mph and up not 30mph and up like the competition.

He said he read Dyna Beads will beat around inside a tire when you are at slow speeds,

Only Counteract balancing beads stay clung to the tire at any low speed even stopped even if parked for up to 2 weeks.

I used Counteract beads maybe they are better IDK ?

My question is..C"an dyna or counteract beads be used with both tube and tubeless tires." And what system guides you as to how much to use??

Use with or without tubes. They recommend 2 oz per tire on motorcycles.

Re:White Walls & Balancing Balls 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Well I had a chance to clean the WW's and ride a bit today.

Very Happy not sure why either the bridgestones are smoother riding or the Balancing Beads are better than Ride on.

Biggest difference is around 50 - 60 mph - smoothest this bike has rode since I've owned it.

Counteract Balancing Beads VS Dyna Beads - don't know never tried Dyna's
Beads VS Ride On - I say Beads

(Disclaimer : I never trusted the dosage of Ride On they gave them)

White Walls - The juries still out on how much I like the look or if I would do it again.
