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. 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

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.

NMN RISERS

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

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!
