Have I used them? Yes.
Have I used them on the CBR? No.
What did you use them on? My 2001 DRZ400s Dual Sport
Did they WORK? Well, the reason I got them was I was taking a 2,000 mile, 8 day trip from Chicago to North Carolina and back, and when I'd ride over 50 miles on the DRZ, I had some numbness and tingling in my hands. I didn't want this to become a limiting issue on my trip. Weakest point and all that.
So I sprung the $80 or whatever for them and installed them. Initial impression? The bars still vibrated. Long term, real world evaluation? While the bars still felt like the were vibrating, something MUST have changed.....amplitude or whatever, because my hands NEVER got numb after installing them. We did some 400 mile days, too....so they were torture tested.
That's my review. Hopefully it's helpful.

Thanks for that.
I'm at the moment looking at options to help minimise pressure on my wrists and neck etc.
I had read somewhere that the bars off a 1989 vfr750 would fit the 1996 cbr1000f and ultimately give considerable rise however after sending off an enquirer to a wrecker that was advertising the very vfr in question, his reply this morning actually was in fact that the vfr bars would not fit the cbrf
So that leaves me with still looking at ways to reduce some stress on the hands wrists and neck.
There are not many of our rides here that tend to be less than 4 hours. just to head to what is known as the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast from where we are is about 2.5 and 3 hours respectively one eay and that's without time running around.
I gather these vibranators are pretty easily and quickly installed so either way I might get some to try and if I come up with another set of bars I can the swap them across.
I read quite an in depth article last night on a cbr1000f being actually lowered which then resulted in the same effect as having considerable amount of rise in the bars but after reading and digesting it all, it certainly was a massive endeavour just to get what probably can be easily attained by finding suitable clip ons.
I'm pulling my hair out as well trying to find fairings for my 1995 cbr1000f as fairing parts seem to be very difficult to find. I have emailed the aftermarket manufacturers of fairings that I have been able to find but as their replies come in they all say the same thing and that's just that they don't make fairings for the f's
