Dino’s Tinker Shed, S3 Ep14, Making a DIY motorcycle wheel balancer.
In this episode, I will show you how I constructed my homemade motorcycle wheel balancer to balance the front tire on my Suzuki Dr650. The balancer is a simple construction and something most DIYers should be able to handle with some basic hand tools and some patience.
Overall I spent around $30 Canadian not including the ¾” plywood scraps I had laying around the shop.
I will show you the actual balancing in a follow up video in the nottoodistant future.
As always, I have included time code chapters so you can skip around the video as you see fit.
