Don...

Harbor Freight has a little tire balancer on sale for about $5.00 this 
week... I just bought one and it works great... You can get the tire weights 
at Pep-Boys.... The weights come in strips and break apart at quarter once 
segments...  Or not...


Best... Steve

Some motorcycle shops can balance them. The local automobile tire shop 
probably will not have the right equipment.

Craig and I believe our nose wheel is slightly out of balance which can give 
us some vibration if the nose wheel touches down or lifts off at a little 
too high of speed.  Any suggestions on how to balance it?  Can I take it to 
my local tire shop and have them balance it?   Is anyone doing this 
themselves?  What are you using for weights and how are you attaching them?

Thanks in advance
