Tip:
The other day as I washed the rear wheel on my 2002 Deuce, I noticed that the wheel balance/weight on the read wheel was just hanging there. The weight is simply stuck on to the wheel in between the ridges at the edge of the wheel with double-sided sticky (padded) tape. I marked the tire so I could tell where it came off, then removed the weight. I drove the bike on the freeway to see if I noticed any difference. I didn't, but decided to replace the weight anyway. Stopped by the friendly ACE hardware store and picked up a 15 foot roll of the 3M tape that "looked" just like the stuff on the original weight. Removed the existing tape from the weight, and replaced the weight with the new tape. 200 miles later the weight is still stuck as good as new. Have no idea what they would have wanted at the Harley shop for a fix, and do not intend to find out!
