small ceramic beads that go inside the tire and, by centrifugal force, find where they need to be to balance the tire. check with "MadDog".

This youtube video explains exactly how they work. There are more videos on youtube also. I've been using them for about 10,000 miles now. The rear tire will require 3 ounces. Just unscrew the plug inside the valve stem and place them in the tire through there. You are good to go.

I love Dyna beads in the tires of my Big Dog, HD Ultra Classic and my wife's HD 1200 Sportster. Took out 100% of the vibration I had in the frontend of the BD.

Pour'em in thru the valve stem (remove valve stem core) and no noise. First time user no issues all is smooth.
