I just put them in last night and rode it today. WOW, what a difference. I put 2 oz in the front and 3oz in the rear and both tires are at 40 psi. I can see the cars behind me and it is amazing that all the cars that follow me now have 2 headlights rather than 3 cars stacked on top of on one another.

This is a must do for your VTX. All that I can say is DO IT you will not regret it.

Sounds great...looked on-line and found the beads. They recomend 1oz for the front and 2oz for the rear.... (for 110 front and 170 rear tire). Do you have larger tires?

Also, I just had new Metzlers installed and they stuck the ugly weights on the wheels...is there a trick to removes these weights without scratching up the wheel?

Thanks....learn something new every time on this site!!

More wont hurt a thing. I'm running 2oz front 3oz rear @ 40 psi in front and 42 psi in rear.
I even left my stick on weights on. Runs smooth as silk.
