I? think balancing the drums is a good idea.? I did mine myself using a older
style static bubble tire balancer.? I found the heavy side and used a grinder
to shave off some of the fin around the drum from the heavy side.? Did it a
little at a time till I got the drum balanced.? It made a lot of difference on
my BJ8.? I was surprised how far off balance they were to start with. Then when
you have the wheels and tires balanced, everthing runs smooth, especially if
you have the tires shaved true.? Then it doesn't matter if you get them on the
spline the same way every time.? Each part of the system is in balance.I also
did it on my bugeye rear drums.? I have it converted to disc brakes on the
front.

I can understand balancing the front drums on my BN2 to help preclude scuttle
shake, but I am converting to front disc brakes.? Is it necessary to balance
the rear drums?
