I had to take my rear tire to three shops to get it balanced because the axle is too wide for the balancing machines. Finally a yamaha shop that also works on john deer tractors was able to do it. What fun.

My tire guy had to get a machinist to make the pieces. He said some of the Riceburners have large axles also and needed the same adapters too.

Yep got my first new rear fitted at my favourite discount tyre shop then balanced at the buell/hd dealer later on when I went in for a new belt.

i could be wrong, but i think the issue is the diamater of the axl rather than the width... your rear tire is no wider than that on a vrod or dyna, but the whole is alot larger, and without the proper spacers, most shops will not be able to do it properly....
