Rear Wheel Balancing????

[brucewayne]

Can't find anyone within 50 miles of Norwich who can balance the rear wheel on an 1100GS?

Phoned 7 different tyre places and each one gave me a number for someone who "might" be able to do it. Nobody can and that includes Lind Norwich who do not have the correct adapter "yet".

Any ideas? or should I not be bothered anyway as front is most important wheel?

I've never had a front or rear wheel balanced on my 1100 in 60,000 miles.

I wouldn't bother if it isn't causing any problems. As long as the front is balanced then you should be ok.
