My XR650R would shake my fillings loose on the freeway..... rims are dead straight, its that friggin' rim lock that throws everything out of whack. I'm going for my first ride, post ripped off achillies, this weekend and didnt want to deal with all that vibration..... so I did this.

I suppose you could use those "Peel and Stick" lead weights as well.

4 oz. did the job nicely on the front. I did put 5 oz on the rear., but thats allot of sticky weights. The difference is HUGE!!! Like I said in the video, this is not just for street guys, Desert runners and Dual Sport / Super Moto guys will ride longer without fatigue or numbness.

These are made in china, which means their crap. The broached allen hole in the set screw in perticular. I checked all of them, and used the ones broached the deepest. Some were barely broached at all.

Wish me luck on my ride, hope nothing falls off me, or the bike!!!
