What's the best set-up for portable tire changing

[BulletTrain]

If I don't get shake from them at speed I'm fine with 'em...

I only get frontend shakes at 170 mph when balancing with my homemade static balancer.

My black 10 was smooth to 172 on both ends with my static balance. Never saw a single dynamic balancer at the AMA races at Barber. Various static balancers on every work table there though.

Good enough for them, good enough for me...

Watch what you say, Train ,we got some thin skinned beyootches here who swear you have to spend big $$$$$$$$$$$ on a balancer .

So I decided to go with the ebay one because the other guy can't seem to return an email and the ebay one was cheaper anyway. His set-up comes with ABEC #1 bearings but he offered to upgrade it to ABEC #5 bearings for me at no additional charge as that was also a deciding factor for me on the purchase. The ABEC #5 bearing is much more sensitive and can get the balancing even closer to perfect, down to about 1 gram. I think that will do it. Again thanks for all the info and BT I will probably be PM'in ya for a how to on the HF tire changer set-up.
