The first thing I'd do, is to ask yourself if you really need to balance the tires. I know...everyone knows the tires need to be balanced.
Short story follows.
I have always had my tires mounted and balanced by the local shop. One weekend, I went to a Kawasaki Concours rally and watched one of the attendees change his rear tire in the parking lot. I learned two lessons that day. One...don't count on a worn tire making it 500 more miles. Two...he used balance beads and a good experience with them. Hmmm...
Fast forward about six months and my local dealer almost doubled the cost of a tire mounting and balance. I could afford it, but it rankled on principle. I decided to do it myself and found it wasn't that bad. And this is just using tire irons, not a machine. I ordered balance beads and installed them...really just poured them in. It's that technical.
The tire was smooth as a whistle going down the road.
Next tire change, I lost some of the balance beads on the floor. They'll go everywhere! So I left them out and decided to see how bad the vibration was. Well, it wasn't. The tire still ran nice and smooth. And I didn't get tire cupping or anything from an out of balance tire.
Bottom line...I wouldn't get into a panic about balancing the tire. I'd put that front tire back on, and give it a try. If you think you need it balanced, then try some kind of balance beads. And then if there's still a problem, ride it to the dealership 40 miles away to get the tires balanced. By the way, there's probably a motorcycle shop across the river in Hood River. Any shop can do this.
Personally, I wouldn't take both wheels off at the same time unless I could brace the frame for movement in both directions. But if you try what I wrote above, you won't have to.
BTW, a forum member on another forum wrote one of the tire manufacturers and asked why they didn't have a "red dot" on their tire. The answer he got back was their tires are checked for balance at the factory and are perfectly balanced or scraped. So if your wheel is balanced, and the tire is balanced...you don't need to have them balanced.
