Hunter + Roadforce + Plastic Hub Rings = Smooth as Silk

[Speeder 553]

I've had the 45 - 55 mph shakes forever, better and worse at times. Have had my tires balanced 3x times in the past few months with no effect. Just had my tires/wheels (lug centric) balanced on a 9700 Hunter with Roadforce and put plastic hub rings in and the ride is smooth as silk now. I think the X factors were the Roadforce and the plastic hub rings. Now there is 0 vibration at all speeds! :)

$22 is a good deal. They are really hard to find. Everyone has the metal ones but they band to the hub and don't do the job. My mech had a set I got for the same price but only one in stock so I would get them from Pmlmotorsports.

So what's the problem with the metal ones?

They are replicas at 74.1

They band on the hubs. That said, not certin if it was the plastic rings or the Roadforce that really did the trick in smoothing out my ride. All I can say for sure is that I have NO more shimmy or vibration at all!!!! :)

This was the first time that my tires/wheels were balanced lug centric vs. hub centric on the Hunter with Roadforce and it did the job where all the other static balancing failed.
