    Wheel balance weights

    Hi, Can the small stick on weights be used for the mag type wheels on my 1980 gs850 and where would the best place to buy them online. My local bike shop refuses to sell them to me. I currently have clamp type but I can't find them online, Thanks Ted

    not sure where you can get them, but my tire shop refuses to use the clamp-on ones, and will only use the stick-ons.

    Been using them on my Mag wheels afor a while, no problems...

      Go to an automotive tire store or a car dealership and ask them.
      if they won't sell you a strip, PM me and I'll send you some.

        Go to some bike wreckers and ask if you can pop off genuine bash on wieghts from there spare wheels. Wont need many and just keep them under lock and key lol Ure 850 should run tubeless front so when there lining up the dot on the trye get then to find the heaviest part of the WHEEL on there balancer first and mark the inside of ure rim with a nikko pen for future referance. 75% of the time the valve isnt the heaviest part. You will end up using stuff all weight that way. An no ure rear rim isnt tubless. If its not marked tubeless dont run tubless. Dont care what people say
