bigbikerrick Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I would like to add some lead shot in my handlebars to reduce vibrations, My jell grips help, but my hands still go numb after about 30 minutes. I have removed the round ,black end, but how do I remove the rest of the insert so I can add the lead to the open pipe? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 64313[/snapback] I pulled the stock bar-ends of my 2000 V-11 sport and found that the inner part of the handle-bar was threaded and accepted the thread from the bar-end weight. It seemed as that was all that was in the bar... I swapped them for Aprilia bar-end weights which are much larger and heavier. That damped the vibration a lot.

twhitaker Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I bought some bar end weights from Moto International about 3 years ago for around $50 that helped a lot. A $28 Vista Cruise did the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually purchased mine from I-bike.com. They were a little cheaper. I think I paid $139.00 shipped. You will appreciate the cruise control. They come in 2 flavors 12oz. and 14oz. Make sure you get the heavy ones. Rocketman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would help to keep the overall weight of your bikes Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
