    No,
    they do not.

    First they wear and end up as steel dust in the tires. Second they settle out each time you slow or stop and cause shimmy each time you take off or speed up as they rebalance. There was a lot of research that went into these balancers and the product has been on the market in the heavy equipment and other motorcycle markets for years. Its well proven. Not a new fad. Read up. Your comment and ones like it have been hashed out over and over in other markets where these have launched. They eventually fade as the product proves itself in yet another application. The difficulty was fitting these to the Spyder, took a great deal of trial and refit and testing.

    The centramatic balancers are a one time permanent solution.
