I had the same dilemma, as after market weights that are as heavy as the Fazers are really expensive. Maybe you could hire a tap and die set. You need a 16mm tap @ 16 TPI (threads per inch). Initially I was told that it was necessary to run a 15mm drill bit down the bars, which have a 14mm inside diameter, before tapping them, but this has since been proved unnecessary. Good luck.
Any idea what I'd likely be charged for a engineering place to do it? If it's very little it would be a good idea but I wouldn't want to spend close to the value of buying my own set as at least then I've got the tool afterwards. Any thoughts on vibration changes with lighter end weights?
