That used to be the way to balance tires on motorcycles. That was the step above bubble balancers and at the time there were few spin balancers that could take a bike wheel. The only thing I had concerns about were some of the items you don't seem to feel are an issue. Maybe on a car, but on a bike, bearings( they are predominantly ball and not tapered roller) can create vibration issues. So I was never thrilled with them because I felt that unless you had a new tire installed and could check the bearings, you could be masking a potentially serious problem. That may be one reason that the rears wouldn't be done by the balancer. He knew that all the CVs as well as differential components could trigger a vibration. These used a strobe light though, I'm not sure about the "feeling" the vibrations....probably take a better feel than I've got...and it's pretty good.
