Of course, sorry


My question was around if a) heavier bar ends might help reduce any bar vibration and b) where could i get some from.


I found from some googling the answer to a) was 'maybe' and the answer to b) was that the best place seemed to be the FJR owners club here: http://www.fjrcatalogue.com/catalog/item/7461069/7911592.htm
Currently on offer too!

When I temporarily moved to lighter bar ends (whilst my OEM ones were being resprayed) I noticed a significant increase in vibes. This was on my Gen1 but assume the principle is the same for whatever bike. I know some people put lead strips in the bar ends to help with this if they can't find heavier weights.

Also you can fill the bars with silicon sealant (just leave room both ends for the end weights) - helps stop the vibes being able to resonate.


After removing my bar end mirrors, I went with the heavy Oberon ones as Oberon are a nice bike ride distance away, and they have helped a fair bit.

Got renthal flat bars on with no bar ends... Guess my balls are soaking it all up before it gets to the bars...
