bigbikerrick Posted October 24, 2005 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!

richard100t Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Hmm go with the throttlemeisters & the lead shot If that doesnt cure it buy a Goldwing lol

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 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.
rocketman Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I havent seen them, how do they work? 64319[/snapback] Go to the throttlmeister web page and read all about em. 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
