Solutions for handlebar vibrations?

[Just Doo Me]

What have most people found to work best to reduce the vibrations through the bars? Grip puppies,weighted bar ends etc. I have replaced the stock grip with a gel grip.I run my frt.tire pressure at 20 psi rear at 28 also shocks are 1 notch from firmest.I could back these down but would then lose the handling in the twistes:dontknow:.Recommendations?

Heavy Throttlemeister, Bar Snake & grip puppies work well.

You don't need the heavy throttlemeister...the normal size works just fine...IMHO, it fits the contour of the bike a little better too...

Either will work, plus you get the added benefit of a mechanical throttle lock so that you can rest your right hand on longer rides!

Get two birdies with one stone!

Highly recommended!

Go old school and toss a roll of nickles in them. :D Actually you'll probably get the best results from the bar snake. Of course if you want to lessen the vibration and get a more comfortable ride at the same time go for the NMN risers. :2thumbs:

Get the SS bar weights from CANAM, and pump up the tires to the proper pressure. I did.

I have the billet anti-vibe kit from BRP and it works well.

i disagree...i think the heavy being longer makes it ezier to operate for me...and the more weight the less the vibration

[Lamonster]

Risers will improve your handling and knock down the vibration. :doorag:

Must of been bigger bars or smaller nickles because I just tried a nickle, penny and dime on a cutoff bar I had and none of them will go in the bar. :dontknow:

Now I have heard of using lead shot and BB's.

Lamont, are you trying with 7/8" or 1" bars?

[Lamonster]

Lamont, are you trying with 7/8" or 1" bars?

Our bars (Spyder) are 7/8" and back in the day all the Asian bikes were 7/8", Harley were the only 1" bars back then that I know of.

Thought about that after I'd made that post. I was thinking about when I had my Harley's.

[Bersquack]

I knew about the spyder and harley bars, but not that most asian bikes used the 7/8". Makes sense that you used the 7/8" bars to check now.

[NancysToy]

Yeah, it was a Harley trick, for sure!

I'm getting the BRP Anti-Vibe Bar Ends. :)

[crazycanuck]

I'm getting the BRP Anti-Vibe Bar Ends. :)


let me know the results, I am looking at those too

[bone crusher]

I'm sure those will work but why not add the throttlemeister and get the added benefit? And why didn't BRP include those anyway? They must've known about the vibration issues...

[Director]

I have them. They work very well. I didn't find the amount of vibration excessive even without them, but the grips are completely dead smooth with the anti-vibe kit installed. :thumbup:
I know some people swear by Throttlemeister, but I am not a fan. I like the Industries 7 throttle lock - simple, cheap and effective.

Thanks Bruce! I might be getting those Anti-Vibe Bar Ends sooner - than later!

And, for me; it's different areas of the rev range where the vibration is worse. Some places it's quite vibration free.

[NancysToy]

I ride an old Triumph. Believe me, the Spyder doesn't vibrate! It just quivers a tiny bit. :D

Just take little breaks - ride no handed once in a while.:2thumbs:

Guess that's why you call yourself the "Sleepman".

Sorry couldn't resist.:popcorn:

Bruce, what is the link for the Industries 7 throttle lock in your above post?

I have the NMN 3" risers & BRP 1" but the vibration is still more than I can tolerate for more than a few minutes. I use thick gloves with gel padding and also wear glove liners as I have nerve issues in my hands & feet. Even with thick sole boots with extra insoles in them & thick socks, its a little better but I need to do something about the hand vibration.

Another option is to call NoMagicNeon. He told me he doesn't stock the I7 throttle lock but he can get it for us if we wanted it.
