Wheel Balancers, Dynamic, Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers

I expect to have improved handling and more uniformed tire wear which should result in smoother ride and extended tire life.

My experience over nearly 6 months of use us positive. In testing, it is common to most motorcycles that an oscillation can intentionally be input by the rider by lightly holding the handlebar and hitting the other side of the bar. The result is a sudden and continuous shake of the front end that will resolve itself as it regains equilibrium on its own.

Performing this same experiment with the dynamic wheel balancers, after hitting the handlebar, no oscillation is created. The balancers seem to adjust in real time (dynamically) and maintains the ‘equilibrium’.

In practical use, this device cannot remove or prevent you from experiencing the rough road conditions, but what it does do is prevent the waves of responses from the input from the rough road conditions. 
As for tire life or mileage improvement… I cannot attest to at this time. I can say that there are no apparent irregularities in the condition of the tread. As time and miles add up I will have a better idea.

In summary… This product does remove or significantly reduces shaking (oscillation) in the front end that are the results of road irregularities. These balancer are dynamic, responding in real time to changing conditions to dampen responsive vibrations and shakes.
