Tires
Getting ready to but new tires on my wing. Thought maybe I would bust them done and change them myself. Can't be much different then car tires. I have done them before. Well while looking at different videos an posts I find that a lot of people don't balance there tires. Except if they are on speed bikes and go fast. I thought like car tires it was better to balance them no matter what.

I use, and swear by the ceramic balancing beads by http://www.innovativebalancing.com/motorcycle.htm . My last set of E3's rear went 18,000 miles and the front 20,000 miles. No cupping or funky wearing.

i use something similar to balancing beads(EQUAL) and have 23K on rear tire now with about 3000 left on them,proper inflation and balancing i think are a must,but believe that road conditions and pavement type is a large factor in tire wear
1987 Aspencade 129K
1986 SEI 93K
2014 Tri-Glide HD 17K
