Ok so you've got the tire changed in your own garage, now what do you do for having it balanced?

i used a pocket balancer which is a shaft and centering cones that came with rollers for putting the assembly on saw horses or jack stands. The balancer was the most expensive at $100 on amazon. I then used 3-4 oz in weights to balance the tire. Bought a box of weights for less than $20 on Amazon and the box has enough to last the rest of my life.

I have one of those. Never used it and never will. I had RM ATV/MC put Ride-on in when I had them do my tire anyway.

I just got the good news Avon will only cover a max of $70.00 on the remove and replace of the Cobra chrome. That was info I should have been told before I took it to a Triumph dealer to have it changed. Even the cheapest throw down, money under the table place in the area would be in excess of $175.00 because it's a 240 tire and I live in high rate California. I'm going to let it play out in case they make good but it looks bleak. It took Avon 6 weeks to get me a tire. Not friggin happy!
 

Your choice, but unless you know something most all of us experienced Roadster riders do not, you really should be running the Exedra Max on the rear!
 
I guess as a kid in a toolroom I used to balance grinding wheels (big ones) between two parallel round rails prior to installation and use (if you didn't get it right you would know about it). The manual balancing technique is not a hard thing to do but it does take some finesse.
Manual balancing of wheels and tyres can be done without any problem if you know what your doing - if you don't have the skill then don't try.
