Default Potentially stupid question about wheel balancing.

Just a last minute ****up, can anyone answer me this question 100% ?

Can I balance a wheel without the discs?

My limited mechanical knowledge / knowledge of physics says I should balance it with them on. as they're unlikely to be identically worn/manufactured... However I'm not sure how much tolerance there is to play with? In fact common sense just says; set it up how it's going to be.

And with it being a motorcycle, prospect of death and all I like to do things properly (honestly!) so I'm thinking I need to balance it with the discs on really unless anyone can give me a solid answer otherwise? i.e my expectations of how much of an exact science it is are too high.


Any relevant answers muchly appreciated!
