Default Throttlemeister (heavy) bar ends
Are they needed to get the vibes out of the bars or will the standards do? I ordered the normal ones and don't want to pick them up until I'm sure they will help reduce vibes. So does anybody have the normal ones? Do they help with the vibes?

I'd go with the heavy weights, made a huge difference on mine.

I think they need extra weight to balance their handbag that hang of the other lever. Lol

No we're just tough enough to actually ride this thing more than 20 minutes at a time!

Extra weight will just lower the resonant frequency. So instead of a high buzzing, you'll have a paint shaker. Just quit white-knuckling the bars and relax!
