Dyna Beads and How To install them

[Gas Man]

Dyna Beads

They are a GREAT GREAT GREAT product. You can install them by just placing the bag contents into the tire when when mounting the tire or as most of us will do, via the valve stem.

Most valve stems will allow the beads to just pour in, however some will be more diffcult due to obstructions in the valve stem itself. You can try rotating the tire back and forth 180 degrees to get them to pour in or if you have a metal valve stem as below follow those instructions.

A note from Jake, owner of Low Down Chop Shop.

Also note that when you remove your weights that are on your wheels, just because your bike has 2.5 oz. of lead doesn't mean that you have to replace it with that much Dyna Beads. My bike had 2.5 oz. on the front and I put 1 oz. in and it was perfect.

The application amount is all based on three things:

Wheel Diameter
Tire Width
Tire Overall Diameter

These three things put together will deturmine how many ounces of Beads are installed. Also if a tire is a bit more out that it should be, it may require one extra ounce to smooth it out perfect.

I stock 1 oz thru 5 oz bags and kits to cover all BDM bikes, custom bikes, Harley, Metric, and sport bikes. If you need a custom application or for a auto, contact me through my

Most of my big dog owners get them from Low Down Chop Shop

Many of us have got them and many are probably on the fence. But if you got them, here's how you put them in.


Grab your supplies


Cut the top off the applicator for easier pouring


Grab your bag of beads


Cut open the corner of the baggy to dispense into applicator bottle.


Pour into the bottle


Simply put that stuff aside and time to direct attention to the bike itself.

So I jacked up the sporty like so...



Remove your valve stem cap


Get your valve stem tool


Spin out the valve stem slowly allowing the air to leak. At this point you can either let it all leak out or pull it out carefully. Be sure not to go to fast and put your hand over it, while keeping pressure down on the tool and stem. You are trying to keep the valve from flying accross the garage.

Out comes the valve


Set this aside


Hook up the tube to the valve stem


Start to pour in the beads slowly. If they start to back up and won't flow into the rim like this read the next direction. If not skip over the next part for difficult bikes.

In some cases your beads may not flow in easily. My Big Dog was no problem the Harley was so I got to thinking outside the box sense I didn't have an engraver to aid me.

Loosen the valve stem nut holding it to the rim.


Attach the tube


Fill the tube and it will back up like before. But push the valve stem in and out shaking in the beads. You can fill the entire tube and then shake in. This worked great for both front and rear tires.

Now once you have all your beads in, remove the tube. If you had to do the difficulty step, tighten the nut.

Re-insert your valve in the stem



Fill it with the proper air level


Check the pressure to make sure its right.


Now replace your valve stem cap


Repeat for the rear or other tire


Out with the valve


Fill and re-assemble and put the valve stem back on. Ride and enjoy a smooth ride


Again, contact Jake or just buy them off his website. he'll ship them to you SUPER FAST!!

ALSO, THIS IS A BIG ONE...

BUY 2 USES OF THESE. IF YOUR BIKE CALLS FOR 2 OZ PER TIRE. BUY ONE KIT AND THEN 2 MORE 2 OZ BAGS. THAT WAY IF YOU GET A FLAT SOMETIME VIA RIDING. YOU'LL HAVE A BACK UP SET OF BEADS!!!!

nice write up...is the only real benefit the fact that the wheel is balanced and you dont see any wheel weights on the wheel? makes sense for your chop, or any custom, but thats it unless....


do some places not balance when u get a tire mounted?

I know a lot of people swear by these,I just wish someone could give me an explanation of how this works...it doesn't make sense to me that the beads would congregate opposite the heavy "spot" on the tire. Oh and if they work,one benefit is you don't have to trust the fucking idiots at the Stealership to do it right (assholes!) and if you happen to spin your tire on the rim,the beads would keep the balance correct. Oh and you can go to car tire places and have your tires changed for $5-10 bucks or even free if you buy your tires there. Discount tire back home changed mine a couple times for free in a pinch,no balance tho'. Besides,with some tire bars and a bar stool,I can swap my own tires but I don't have a balancer.

I don't have the issue, or links, or anything, but I have read that MCN had an article a couple years ago where they tested these things and said they did nothing to help.

I remember there were some different ones that didn't work but I was just at Ron Ayers getting my bike inspected and one of the mechanics were putting them in his bike. What I'd like to see is a demo video,showing an out of balance tire on the balance machine,install the beads and poof balanced tire! I've never seen concrete proof that this works...

[Amber Lamps]

hmmm here's what they say...

[OneSickPsycho]

You'd think they'd have some sort of video evidence of something this revolutionary actually working.
