Do they change the tire balance at all?

Not much but I'm sure a little. Since you won't be putting them on until your next tire change, you'll be rebalancing anyway so it's a non-issue...

Advice: I pointed all my stems so that they faced AWAY from the side stand for two reasons:
#1: So I always knew how to check wheel/tire rotational direction
#2: A lot easier to check the tire pressure when on the side stand.

I'm pretty sure it's 8lbs.

Woot! This was part of the winter mods. Also got them from KurveyGirl site.

Will have to do it again a 2nd time now that I'm tossing these gold rims and going to the '09 silvers.





The first one I very gently eased out with a screw driver and some soap. It was hard & took a bit of time. The 2nd one I thought well the hell am I doing and got the razor blade out. 2nd seconds later it was off.









Dyna beads take care of the balancing. Despite all our arguing about these, much easier than wheel weights.

+1 for a group buy. I'll wait to order a set till May 15th then I'm pulling the trigger solo. It will be my birthday present to me.

I was planning on doing this as well next time I change my tires. Thanks for the info
