Any thoughts ?
I've got a Gen2 FZ1, I filled the bars with lead shot. Best, cheap mod ive done. Completely eliminated vibes in the cruising speed band. Reduced them massively at all other noticeable points in rev band.
I think I put 2kg of shot in [i worked it out by calculating the bars as a cylinder and finding the density of shot]. I think the shot cost about £12 delivered. Poured it into one end with the bike lent on one side, using a funnel.[/i]
