How to fill handlebars with expandable foam

It's not about me trying to explain it, it's about me not getting drawn in to a conversation with you, 'cos I'm really not interested in anything you say.
So in the future please keep your comments aside from mine, and I will do the same with yours.

you post the most inaccurate bollocks out of them all.

There's plenty of disagreements in this forum about the best way to do something. This is never a reason to get abusive.

It is good to disagree, but post "I disagree - this is why and this is what I think would be better".

Just because someone is posting inaccurate bollocks in your opinion does not mean that it is inaccurate bollocks. If a particular poster regularly suggested inaccurate bollocks then he would get a reputation for it, and I do not see the evidence for this.

Please give your opinions but argue your case on its merits rather than 'playing the man'.

I have the same bike and have no such issue. I thing the carb balance might be the way forward?

My carbs need balancing & i still dont get bothered by buzzing...didnt with standard bars or my renthals that dont even have proper end weights in them.....but i dont do steady motorway riding so i must just be zipping passed the buzzy bit either that or i just dont tend to notice it.


But i suppose once you do notice it, it must be annoying little niggle.

If you think someone's wrong point it out or don't. No need to be getting personal.

On my bike it's the exhaust that resonates at 6k and you feel it through the rest of the bike. Have to say it's not too bad but you can feel it through the footpegs and handlebars and the exhaust gets noticeably louder. I think if you could add some sort of damping at the exhaust mounting points it would go a long way to stop the 6k vibes.

I knew an old guy that used to race a 650 triumph sprint bike when I was drag racing swore by filling his bars full of sand & he used to try to convince everybody else to do it, but we all thought he was a crazy old bastard who had started to lose his marbles.

My 600 is a nightmare for vibrating bars - the stock ones were the worst. I synced the carbs several times in a 6 month period to no real avail, replaced the bars with Renthals, which helped a bit and then bought the heaviest bar ends I could find, which ended up getting rid of most of the issue, but not entirely.

I don't think the exhaust is the main culprit, as its the identical system to my previous 600 which didn't have the issue. In general, I think its just wear and tear on a poorly maintained engine (not my fault) and so it vibrates more and the mountings are likely in questionable condition as well.
