This will go against the grain but I'd recommend leaving the weights on (previos weight) and just have the trye fitted.

I presume you passed out :z :z :z
Yes, it does go totally against the grain, and is wrong, 'cos no new tyre is the same.
Even when you're halfway through a tyres life the chances are due to uneven wear the original weights would end up being wrong as well, which is why most people who report having a speed wobble have tyres that are nearing the end of their life span and generally need replacing.

You were not wrong, cant even remember pressing enter lol
I had a real bad habit of doing burnouts on my Katana (you have to show off on a Kat, its law) so most weekend saw me having another tyre fitted (£5 each out the back door of a local breakers) I never had one tyre rebalanced and never had any noticeable vibration.
Thinking about it I've hardly ever had them balanced on what ever I've ridden (mainly due to back handers at shops and tyre fitters)
Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!
