Default Motivation Bar Ends worked very well

Hi, I saw the thread where people were talking about ways to correct the buzz. I too didn't notice it too much when I first got the bike but it slowly started to annoy me (not in any hand more than the other). I ordered Motivation bar ends since they were less than $100 and could be returned if not effective.

I am very pleased, so much so that I wouldn't think that anyone would mention the buzz if they weren't looking for it. I would say it eliminated 70% of the vibration, which essentially fixes the problem.

So IMO, definately worth getting.

Andy

Good to know, I haven't really noticed excessive buzzing, nor do my hands go numb. I have gone with Yosimura bar ends, which are actually lighter than the stock units. I'll keep these in minds though. Thanks for the write up!

Nicely done,

Triple

+! for the Motovation Bar Ends. This was one of the first mods I did, they reduce the vibration quite a bit...my hand hasn't gone numb since. I waited until after I got the 600 mile service so i could get an accurate assessment...I can tell a huge difference.
