Damping Handlebar Vibrations

[From A2B]

Hi all

A mate of mine recently filled his GSR750 bars with lead shot. It wasn’t as easy as he thought, apparently he needed to drill into the bars at the mirror clamps (to hide the holes) to get the material in as opposed to filling at removed bar end weights. He reported a positive outcome to the vibes.

Just wondering if anyone has tried this (I’ve a 2017 ST).

The Gen2 like yours has rubber bar mounts. Not going to dismiss your desire for better, but also not sure how much smoother you can get things.

Lead shot, BB’s or a rubber snake, try it and let us know.
All are old tricks some folks swear by.

Speaking old school.
This did the biggest cheap trick for me..
They may look ugly and 70's ish but work, your hands cover them anyway. ::008::
