no but it would work for sure...folks also fill em with sand....i like bar end wheights,they are all i need and they save in a garage tip over too...

you could make that with some thin wall tubing and then get some play sand when you and jimmy go to the playground....

Saw the bar end types, would need to replace my grips...
I researched and found melted lead sinkers and tire weights, BB's, foam filled you name it....

None of which seamed truly the manner to go with and then I found this product....

Seems like ti work in concept anyways... maybe not remove all vibrations but if can reduce would be nice on the old fingers not to mention the havoc it's playing on my mirrors.... :S

I found a local source, under $30 so might give it a try and I'll report my findings/results....

OMR--have u tried shorter mirror stems?I couldnt see squat in my mirrors because of the vibration "halo",so I found a set of "original" Kaw mirrors with 3 inch shafts.Voila-much better rear vision.I have an extra set if u would like to try them.bj

Much appreciated but I'm not running Kawi brake or clutch units so no thread in the bar mirror clamps...

My mirrors are fairly short at 5", convex mirrors and they work fairly well for the most part... Since my hands tingle after awhile and for the fact the CR carb springs are pretty stout, throttle hand especially goes numb after 30 minutes or so...

Not so bad for I have a throttle lock installed, keep present speed and shake her out a little...

Always looking for new concepts/toys to add to the collection of goodies....

Thanks,

OMR
