I've been complaining for a while now about the severe handle bar vibration on my bike. Scott mentioned about gel grips and jettin bar end weights.
so i decided to give it a try and go for the bar end weights. i chose the extra heavy version at 15oz per side.
the fit was a straight foreward affair and a direct fit. the Allen screw had to be replaced by one a few millimetres longer.
took the bike out today on a 120 kl run and was surprised how well it knocked back the handle bar vibration.
although not totally eliminated it did drop the high pitch handle bar resonance to an acceptable level.
prior to the install i have never cruised at 100 kph for more than one or two kl without severe tingling/buzzing in the finger tips.
to my surprise today i sat on this 100 kph cruise for a good 20 kl.arriving at the half way mark i pulled over and swapped back to the original bar end weights.
back on the bike i noticed the annoying raspy vibe immediately. about 3 kl up the road i pulled over and re -fitted the jettin bar weight.
once again big difference and this time feeling more confident i took it to 120kph with good road feel and a lot less vibes. also noted i could see clearly out of both mirrors.
although where pretty good in the land of oz - not at the one time though
are they any good. my opinion yes. my handle bar vibration was very bad and this mod knocked quite a bit of the shakes out of it.
on a bike with just a bit of vibration it could do wonders.
will throw in a few photos tomorrow.
