Standard silicone would take a long time to cure all the way through, and the ones that smell like vinegar release acetic acid that will corrode the bars from the inside, not a problem where a full cure is achieved quickly but here I would not recommend it, cure rates are often only a couple of mm's per day. Better would be a two part mix compound that cures after mixing
The outside cures quickly so corrosion is not an issue. I have used it in bars for years.

Filling the bars is all about changing the harmonic point of the bars, whether it be bar end, or filling, or different length bars, or aluminium, all the resonant frequencies will be different and the resonance will just be moved. No amount of carb balancing will stop an engine vibrating :rolleyes . The standard bars are awful anyway and are only fit for the bin, goodness know what shape arms and body they were designed for. Hammering lead into the bars, and even aluminium can have a positive effect too. Every engine is different so there is no magic formula. Most like holding the bars less tight would have the best effect.
