Bar ends.

Postby Jayboy » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:53 pm

Anyone changed their ends from original to aftermarket ones and noticed any more vibration?

Got some Oberon ones to go on as my originals are a little marked, but they feel much lighter than the standards.

any comments?

i bought some heavy stainless ones four years ago and didnt notice any difference, then i fitted some lightweight alloy grips and bar ends, again nothing noticable so il stay with the lighter opption.

LOL - Sparky - 5hit, just remembered I didn;t give you any cash back for the postage, I will sort that out via pm.
I bought some 2nd hand Originals to replace my aftermarket ones I don't like, then got a 2nd chance offer on the Oberons, so got them too. The Originals must be twice the weight!
I don'd find the SP1 vibey so will use the newer lighter ones and offer the others on here I think.
Cheers lads.

Ive fitted some very nice Renthal clipons, with their Firm grip, and havent noticed an increase in vibrations. But sure looks much better
