The bar ends don't reduce vibrations, the weights inside of the clip-ons do. The thread you are tightening the bar ends to is the end of a weight in the clip-on itself. That is what reduces vibrations.

The bar ends are essentially a frame slider. You shouldn't have to cut anything on the bike to make them fit or to keep them from sticking the throttle. A washer would work fine.

What is the size of the bolt for the bar ends? I bought some aftermarket ones and the screws aren't catching the threads

You mean they are not there for hanging streamers?

Sorry Dusterdude Diddnt think of a drangrace bike. Well when I had my bar ends off the other day I didnt see any way that they would come out. You may have to get some sort of light weight bars or something.

Yeah the vibrations in the handlebars without bar ends are pretty bad... I need a set. Anywhere I can get some that will for sure fit the CBR?
