Has anyone found a way to reduce or stop the bar vibes when handle bar guards have been fitted which prevent end weights being fitted.
Maybe attach some weights to end of the guards? Ive heard of tube rubber being fitted around the bar in the clamps but a bit dubious about that one.
My hands start getting a bit numb after about 30 kms on the highway.

I just put some pillow grips on the XR, they cut down the vibes quite a bit, made the ride a lot more comfortable.
just need to save for a seat consepts XR seat and that will be both ends sorted

Can you stuff wadding in say 2-3 inches so nothing can pass it, then a lead sinker or two packed so it's tightish in there, then another wadding to pack it tight ?

Or even a lead rod of some kind

Just had a look at the Vibranator site and there are a few diff models, My bike has bark buster guards with a screw through the end into an expanding collar inside the bar end, is there a particular model to suit this?
What about fixing a small weight onto the inside of the guard just before it goes across the end of the bar???????? ( Well it was just a thought).
Is there a source for vibranators here in NZ or is it only import.

Cheers

Zeta Gaurds on my DR and no vibes worth mentioning. The expanding bit probably went about inch or so inside bar end.
