Anyone know if they will help at keeping some vibrations down? My right hand gets numb after riding for an hour or so. If they help, any suggestions??

[BALDGONZO]

My hands did the same. Problem was I couldn't take my right hand off the bar or I would slow down. I installed the throttlemiser throttle lock (cruise control). I purchased the heavier ones and they made a noticeable difference with vibration. Very high quality stuff also.

I thought about that myself, but couldn't see spending $150 for that. But you are thinking that the heaviness part actually helped with the vibrations...

[BALDGONZO]

Yes, for sure the extra weight helps. I was just going to put on heavier bar ends; I'm really happy with T-miser. After receiving them you wonder how they could have made such nice stuff for the price.

Motovation USA makes two bar end weight/sliders. Check them out too.

this helped tremendously on my gixxer. put lead fishing weights in a baggie and stuff it into the bars. seriously, it works well

The 929 has metal inserts in the bars that dampen vibration dosent the 1000 come with them? If not the ones from the 929 should install in the 1000 no problem since the bar diameter is the same I would think. Go to the dealer and buy the parts for each bar. Good part is since the vibration damper is IN the bar you can use whatever bar end you like. If you dont want to spend the money on that go to the sporting good store and get some small lead shot and fill the bars with that.

I put Motovation bar ends on my previous 10R and they made a huge difference in reducing hand numbing and I will do the same on 1000RR

There are some anti vibration bar ends out there that do help. i called and got a set for my GSXR 2006 and it helped. I spoke to a guy from dscbikeshop.com they did have them on their site at the time but they got them for me for a gresat price and the color i wanted. so give them a try if you are still looking for some. They also told me to stop leaning my upper body on the bars so much and clinch the tank with my thighs and it does help on long rides to the Beach. LAter Bro

these are good but illegal in alot of states.

[shakey1378]

motovation bar ends! i have em on my 929 and made a already smooth bike even smoother very good product up until my full system this was my favorite mod hands down

[bonham]

Since when is a throttlemeister illegal? Can you point me to a local statute?

[chromejunkie]

i will try to find out, but not all states are illegal. What state are you from? At one time dscbikeshop's website had some links to state laws and new laws that came up. I will see if they still have it and if i find it i will forward to you. The link was usfull info. Later

Throttlemeister rocks. You get vibration dampening and cruise control. What's not to like?

I have to agree with you. I had a similar right hand numbing problem when i traveled long distances on the highway, and the motivation 300g bar ends solved it.
