Good question. Since you brought up beads, I'd love to hear from those who are using them. Harley friend had them put in on his front tire and says they seem to work fine. I've been considering them next time I replace my tires.I noticed my '16 Scout 60 front wheels don't have any rim weights on them, but the rear does. Do you think indian used beads for the front and weights on the back, or maybe they got lucky on my front tire and it self balanced?
@Dochardtail: where in this world did you order your Ride-On from to wait 2 full weeks? I ordered a bottle last week Thursday, 3-19 at 10:08 AM (for my Bonnie who lost a weight on her front wheel and Ride-On was cheaper and faster and easier to use than taking the wheel off and get it re-balanced) from J&P Cycles. They offered “free standard shipping” for any order. So my $16 bottle qualified for that and I was in no rush because the weekend here in the MidWest was supposed to be shitty. It was delivered the next day (!) on Friday, 3-20 @ 4:08 PM to my front porch!So I ran without balancing the wheel for a couple of weeks till my order of ride on came in.
I think they got lucky and the tire/wheel combination didn’t need any weights to be balanced.I noticed my '16 Scout 60 front wheels don't have any rim weights on them, but the rear does.
