  • Can I order with credit card without going through Paypal?
    • Yes, we accept Visa & Mastercard over the phone, give us a call at 651-491-4638 & we'll be happy to help you out.
  • Can you ship via. US Mail?
    • Yes, we can ship with US Mail upon request.
  • Do you have anyone in the U.K. selling your products?
    • No, currently we only sell direct over our website, on e-bay, and at various racetracks in the Midwestern United States. We sell direct to save you money, there is no middleman. We design and assemble all of our products in-house.
  • Do you offer an arbor for a Ducati 996 rear wheel?
    • Yes, our large cone & universal cup kit will work nicely for that application. Please see our Products page for current pricing and availability.
  • I do a lot of work on sportbikes CBRs GSXRs etc..., which balance stand do I need?
    • The balancing stand kit with standard size arbor will address all of the modern sportbikes with the exception taken to those that have a single sided rear swingarm. You can start out with the standard kit and add the single sided arbor (large cone & universal cup) at a later date.
  • Would it be possible to buy just the set of 4 rollers and studs as I have a nice cast iron stand to mount them on?
    • Yes, we offer a kit with our high quality bearings, stainless steel shafts and stainless steel mounting hardware. You can order it on the products page.
  • Dear Sirs/Madames has your machine ever been used to balance Carbon Fiber wheels such as the BST wheels that why only 4.92 pounds without rear sprocket, and does the balancer fit honda stock sized wheel for a 2004 Honda CBR1000rr we have 3 of them?
    • Yes, the starting weight of the wheels has little effect on the balancing operation. The lighter the wheels are to start, the easier they are to balance on a static balancing unit, due to their low inertia.
  • Do you need a special arbor for BMW k1200lt wheels? If so how much?
    • Yes, you will need the large cone in addition to one of the standard cones. It is available as an add-on in our product page.
  • We are looking for a balancer to use with various scooter wheels/tires. They range in size from 10 inch to 16 inch diameter, will these fit on your balance stand?
    • Yes, the tire diameter is well within the range for our static balancing stand.
  • I see that you are in New Richmond, WI. I live in Farmington, MN and I was wondering if it would be feasible to come see one of these units in person?
    • Of course! Give us a call & we'll show you our products!
  • Will this work on all Harley wheels and do you have any idea what it would cost to ship this to Ontario Canada?
    • Yes, the standard size arbor fits most Harley wheels, shipping to Ontario will run about $25 over our standard shipping rate.
  • We service Honda Cruisers from 750 Shadows to Goldwings, Harleys, Yamahas, etc. What would we need to purchase?
    • The standard size arbor will take care of nearly all of the modern motorcycles on the market today. Start out with the standard kit and should you run into a wheel you can't fit on the arbor, you can always order an add-on kit that we will send out by the next day. Most shops stick with the standard size kit unless they have a specific model that they service that requires a special arbor (i.e. Ducati).
  • I have a balance stand, but my rod and cones were stolen. can i purchase just these parts?
    • Yes, we offer all of our arbors in stand-alone kits. Please visit the products page to order these parts.

    • You bet! The standard size arbor is what you need.

    • Yes, not a problem! The standard size arbor is what you need.
  • I am opening a store on June 1st and will be balancing wheels on Goldwing, Harley, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc... what will I need and do you also sell the weights?
    • Congratulations! You will need the standard size arbor to take care of those bikes and we offer weights individually on our website (see the Products page).
  • Does this unit come with instructions on correct method of static balancing?
    • Yes, we include a detailed instruction sheet with every order. It is a very simple process.
  • Can you tell me where to go to see the Ducati single sided swingarm version? I was on your web site and didn't see it.
    • Yes, visit the Products page, we just added more photos. Thank you for letting us know it wasn't pictured!
  • Your balancer is suitable for a bike shop or a race team for sure, as it is built very well...best I have seen. I can see you take a lot of pride in your products! What would the whole cost me?
    • Thank you for the compliment! Please see our products page for current pricing & product offerings. We offer basic kits for the home user & complete kits for shops, with a wide variety of add-on kits to build on your initial purchase. All of our add-on kits work with the standard balancing kit.
  • Would you send it USPS (military PO Box)? Also, do you or would you provide the weights and/or place to purchase them?
    • Definitely, we have shipped several units to military PO boxes. The weights are available on our products page.
  • Is it possible to purchase the Balancing Arbor separately ? I am interested in upgrading a balancer I already have.
    • Yes, it is a great upgrade for all of the static balancing stands on the market. Please see the products page for current pricing & availability.
  • Hi - for the rear wheel on the single-side control arm (e.g. Honda VFR 800) do you have an arbor which can accomodate the 'one siders'?

    • The standard kit is 20 pounds. The large cones will add to this weight, as will the universal cup.
  • Sorry to bother you but I am wondering if you offer the self locking arbor set up. My current stand one is stripped out and bent thanks for the time.
    • No problem! We offer all of our arbors as a stand-alone kit for the exact purpose that you mention! Don't replace your old arbor with another one that will wear out quickly - get a Tachyon!
  • Please can I have a price to the U.K.?
    • To ship air freight, it is roughly $60.00 US additional. Please send your address for a more precise quote.
