I'm a late bloomer with GL 1800's bought a 2004 and haven't looked back, thanks to you and Memphis Mike. I had not heard about the Centramatics until I saw you putting them on and thought I would give it a shot. The bike was smooth but it is so much snoother and those weights are gone! Thanks again.. Ride Safe...Look out for them cause they ain't looking for you
2 suggestions to be safe (if not already mentioned in other comments) is that it is imperative that the mating surfaces (all 4 of them) between wheel, balancer and rotor, MUST MUST MUST be very clean before re-assembly. Any kind of dirt, rust or other oxidation should be removed to leave bare metal surfaces. Secondly, I would recommend following a standard cross-torquing pattern if Honda does not give one specifically for the brake rotors Well done!
Hey Chris my brother and I were the first black guys to race motocross in this region of southern Illinois been riding for a while gona look into the wings now we are 3 hours from Memphis maby we can ride with you guys, some time 👍
Hello Chris, As I am a F6B rider and in the process of installing the same auto wheel balancers for handling reasons, I know why the the install including the Fork Brace as well! I ride a bit aggressive due to the to the way vehicles seem to be driving these days and I need the stability in handling and maneuvering just to avoid potential accidents. I know these work, from everyone I know that has them.
It’s worth mentioning that Honda does recommend replacing the rotor bolts as well as the ABS exciter ring bolts. I knew this but I still gambled and reused the old rotor bolts anyway. Bad gamble. I snapped a rotor bolt off in the wheel. It was easy enough to remove but it could have been a costly mistake. My advice would be to spend a few bucks more and get the new bolts.
Hey Chris, after much research and watching your video I've decided to get the Centramatic Wheel Balancers. I'll install them when I get the new tires. If you get a chance, give a comment on them since you've been rolling them for a year.
Put these on my goldwing last year and love them. After a trip to Florida from Missouri I noticed a big difference in tread ware.Was wondering if you could go over your helmet and Bluetooth set up. The audio between you and other riders is seems to be really good. Thanks and keep putting out videos. Encourages me to get out and ride.
working my way up to those. my former trucking company used those. would like to know the test results from your ride. i too purchased the klock Werks windshield both sizes. sorry video will come soon.
riding impressions? low and high speed. Been considering them a while. I'd really love to hear them. Thanks for all the videos, It's work and it's appreciated!
Ran centramatics on a 1990 Volvo 770 on all three axles. Was a " skeptic" until I tried them, put over a million miles on them, transferred them to a new 780 Volvo. They work as advertised. Have about 3K miles on the Goldwing with them, smooth, no noise, no shaking. Eliminated all the cupping and bouncing on my semi, Goldwing smooth as glass. No longer OTR driver, riding the wing!!
Brother Chris, very interesting. I've heard of the problems with the Goldwing Wobble but never experienced it. I've gone through one set of tires, first went 11,000 miles without an issue. Will be anxious to hear your report after a few thousand miles. I'm an "If it ain't broke, don't fix it guy" But this is a great option and glad you introduced it. Changing subjects, yesterday I drove from Evv, IN to Dallas and drove be Memphis. Got me wondering, have you put together a plan for the Chris Caliente Caravan to WIng Ding 2017? I'm sure given your number of subs, you'd head up quite a "pack" heading that way.
Hey Chris, did you notice a big improvement in the ride with the centramatic wheel balancers? I ordered for my belly acquired '08 and waiting to install, but curious if it's really worth the fuss.
Hi Chris, I'd be interested to see a follow up after a few thousand miles. Did you have an issue with the way it was handling? Mine rides smooth as glass so I was just wondering if there were any differences since you just put on the new tires. Keep Safe!
I did not have handling issues on my Wing, the Superbrace was on my accessory list, I've heard that fork stabilizer makes the bike ride better, so I wanted to find out the truth, I will do a later review on the handling.
dear, great video! I have a question: is centramatic compatible with the superbrace? can there be any problems if I install both? do I have to change the fork distance on the wheel axle? many thanks and congratulations! Att
Hey Chris, I just had Honda install the Centramatics with new E4's. Did you experience any caliper brake noise after adding them. I know it pushes out the rotors some and guys have said sometimes it takes a little bit for the brakes to readjust. Just curiuos
G,Day i can not use gloves when working on a motor or bike gloves take away that feel you have with the metal cheer PS my BMW Comes today ya hoo 06/04/2017 cheers Chris .
A Big tahnk you for your good wishes i will post a Video once i have her full cleaned her up oil service new front tyre and service Thank fellow rider nothing will Beat the 1800 Gold Wing i know Gods bike of choice to ride stay upright ok cheers my fellow rider .
Were not the wheels on the Gold Wing already balanced? The GW comes from the showroom floor, as perfectly smooth and balanced as anyone could wish for in a high end, luxury touring motorcycle. An ERM. :-)
Tire are perfectly balanced when they are first mounted on the rim, but as the tire wears over time it become out of balance. With Centramatic wheel balance, as the tires wears over time, the internal beads constantly shifts to correct the off balance as a result producing a smooth ride.
@@chriscaliente5033 excellent , i have three question for you : 1- do you need to adjust wheel axle , 2- do you need to remove balancing trim on wheels ? , 3- is there any touching issues to caliper ?

Well done!
Thanks! I am excited to install mine when I get them Friday.
Thanks, have all three on my 09 1800. Smooth, like them. Keep up the good work. I'm your darksider from Ga.
Centramatics and darksiding, what a perfect combo, lol.
Another good one Chris. Keep them coming my friend. Ride safe.

Thanks Will.
Very cool, thanks for showing this! Definitely save big bucks doing your own work!!✌
Comes with a five year unlimited mile warranty that I will pay for itself in the long run.
Hey Chris my brother and I were the first black guys to race motocross in this region of southern Illinois been riding for a while gona look into the wings now we are 3 hours from Memphis maby we can ride with you guys, some time 👍
Great video Chris I learned a lot. Thanks
A very easy job, no more wheel weights.
Well done Chris!
I love my Centramatics.
In your previous life you were a NASCAR pit crew member. No one turns a wrench that quick. LOL!

Good day Chris. Just received my Centrmatics from a forum seller.

15 ft-lbs. you must’ve screwed up. No way they should break.
Obviously you tighten the bolts too tight, my advice is to spend a few bucks and buy a torque wrench to prevent snapping rotor bolts.

Many trucking companies use them on their fleet, I will do a later review of my experience with Centramatics as well.

I'm still in the testing phase.

So far so good with my Centramatics.

I haven't put together a ride plan yet.
Please keep the "How too videos coming"
Do they make any noise while riding ?
Hey Chris, did you notice a big improvement in the ride with the centramatic wheel balancers? I ordered for my belly acquired '08 and waiting to install, but curious if it's really worth the fuss.
Can you see those with black wheels or are the hidden? I am liking the blacked out engine, mufflers and wheels Honda has on the newer models. Thanks!
I like the look of the black wheels also, they look cool.

Hey Chris..have you got an update on these after few 100 miles or so?

Thank. BTW, did you win the lottery? Tires, power jack, balancers and brace. You are setting a high bar my man. Ride safe!

I have them both installed on my bike, no problems.
Chris have you noticed any difference in your rides since you installed the Centramatic Wheel Balancers???
Its been windy on every ride, but it appears smooth.

Hi. Do you recommend it ? Is it heavy ? In shipping ? As i will buy it oversea shipping.
I highly recommend them, they are light and easy to handle.
