Wheel balance device for a motorcycle

A wheel balance device for a motorcycle attachable to a motorcycle wheel rim. The wheel balance device includes a pedestal vertically attachable to a crown of an inner rim of the motorcycle wheel rim in a position between a pair of spokes on opposite side of the crown and having a first end attachable to the crown, a second end, an outer wall therebetween, a transverse orifice therethrough, and a longitudinal channel continuously disposed therethrough. A weight body, having an arc substantially conforming to a shape of the inner rim, is insertable through the transverse orifice and has a hole transversely disposed therethrough, which is alignable with the channel when the weight body is inserted into the transverse orifice. A fastener, which engages both the channel pedestal and the hole of the weight body, secures the weight body to the pedestal.

Vehicle Spoke Wheel Weight

A vehicle spoke wheel weight includes a body, with first and second body parts, and a fastener assembly. Each body part includes a central bore having an upper bore surface, a lower bore surface and a shoulder connecting the upper and lower bore surfaces. The lateral dimension of the lower bore surface is larger than the lateral dimension of the shoulder. The first and second body parts are placeable in a mounting orientation with the central bores of each opposite one another and securable to one another by the fastener assembly. The upper and lower bore surfaces and the shoulder of each body part can define generally semi-cylindrical surfaces of less than a full semicircle. A shim material can be placeable at the upper bore surfaces. A method for making a vehicle spoke wheel weight includes forming a body and creating a fastener assembly.
