 Just wondering when static balancing the rear wheel should I be doing so with the cush drive and sproket installed on the rim or without?????

When I had mine done a few weeks ago. My tires were balanced on a static balancer. I did not have the cush drive rubber or the sprocket carrier on the wheel.

          Thanks for the speedy reply Fred!

I don't have them on when I balance. The parts are too close to the axle to have much impact if they are off. And they won't be off by much if at all.
