Default Anyone tried the liquid tire balancer??

Has anyone tried the liquid tire balancer on their tires? I've heard good things for harleys, can only assume the street bike result wouldn't be much different. Anyone tried it or know anything about it? Good? Bad? Indifferent? How to install? and if you shouldn't use it on certain types of tires? Thanks

I've never tried the liquid, have heard the beads work well, but they both void some manufacturer's warranties.

They don't work or else they'd be standerd and well talked about and documented.

I had a small shop mount and balance my rear tire years ago. He used the liquid balancer (I thought that was kinda shady because he never mentioned that before). I found it did have a small vibration at higher speeds. I won't use again. I have the sticky waits on mine now but plan on trying dynabeads next time I change the tires.

Use Dynabeads in mine, love it.

But i did trim / pick out the "excess" rubber pieces that were in the front tire before i mounted it so they wouldnt interfere with the dynabeads. The backtire needed no trimming. (Pilot Powers)
