 Bottom line question is a 14mm shaft gonna be ok for rear wheels/tires off baggers? Gonna cost me about 3x as much for the 19mm shaft kit for the balancer.

Yes, I have used the K@L 14mm for the last 2 years with no issues.  Takes more time but you can achieve a "spot on" balance using this simple set up.

Does that use the tire clamp? The cheaper one I was looking at used a couple pins for spoke drive, shouldn't be an issue for me anyway since there aren't too many solid wheels around.

What balancer are you looking into.  I use the simple stand and let gravity tell me what to do.

I already have an electronic spin balancer, so the shaft is only supported on the one end that is screwed into the machine. If I was going to get a simple stand I was going to get the marcparnes.
But I bought and sold some tire machines and have no money in my spin balancer so I want to use it. So here are my choices:
