I've got Suzuki 2 stroke twin that had to have the rear balanced a few years ago, I let a shop do it. Knowing what I know now I'd have put the weights on myself. I've heard good stuff about the motorcycle balance beads.

I've heard both good and bad things about them. Some people swear by them. Just seems too easy to do it with weights to me. Hard to see any real advantage.
