I have the Roger Reihl 4 lug heavy balancing plate and a computer balancer. While I agree using the old SW/Alimite or the Hunter Mexican Hat on the car balancers are still the very best way to balance 8-lug wheels. They balance the entire wheel, drum assembly at actual road speed. Nothing could be better. But very few of those balancers survive. The off the car method with the plate and computer balancer is the second best choice. I can also balance the rear drums separately on my computer balancer. The front drums are the only component I can't balance because the wheel bearing hole is too small for my balancer shaft to pass through. If the car still has the shakes after the 4 wheels and tires are balanced and the rear drums, then the front drums will need a balance. Possibly a Harley dealer or other motorcycle shop with a small shaft computer balancer could balance those 8-lug front drums off the car. I have been loaning my balance plate out for postage cost + $10.00 if someone needs it. They cost $100-125 when you can find one for sale. PM me if you need it.
