There are a couple ways that you can internally balance the tires. For your option, I would use one of the two following:

BB's (yes, like for a BB Gun, I don't recall off hand how many oz's you would need per tire, and most of the information I know of is for off-road trucks, and they would need much more than you would)
Blanance Sand: I run "Semi-tires" on my 2002 3/4 Ton Dodge Ram, and you can't really balance these tires, so you have to use a package of "sand" that splits open when driven, and then will settle out and balance the tire at speed. Could work for you too!

There are actually some tire balancers out there that u use the bolt pattern of the wheel to bolt the wheel to them, then just single plain balance them (weights to the inside of the rim). Guys that run large 4x4 tires sometimes use balancing sand in them (or lead *****), I'm not sure how that would work on your tires though.

I think I will try the BBs to see if that works. Because it is smooth until I get to about 51mph and then it feels as if the handlebars are going to vibrate off.

Thanks again for the help,

Jef
