I was out for a ride on my F3 last weekend with a couple of friends running a nice section of road. For one lap of the road I hopped on my GF's R1. Besides the general awesomeness, I was really struck by how "buzzy" my bars are compared with hers. My hands kind of feel funny when I get off my bike because of the constant high pitch vibration.

My bike has never had any bar ends on it and I'm starting to wonder if that is part of the problem. I put a nice set of grips on it so I don't think they are the problem.

Thoughts? Has anyone dealt with this issue?

 

yep you need stock or aftermarket weighted bar ends on it.

 

Good to know there's an easy solution! Anyone able to tell me if either of these will be heavy enough to do the job?

Or are both of those just fashion accessories and not heavy enough?

 

Just dug these up, they are weighted anyway.

Or suggestions on any that are known good? I don't want to spend much, but I don't want to buy something twice either.

EDIT, just found these which I like the look of, but they are not marked as weighted...

your third post were both aluminum bar ends which are light. the weighted one seems decent but the price is outragous for $25. the last link is aluminum as well.

 

Yup, find steel ones if you can.

 

I bought the heavy steel ones I posted earlier. I'll post up if they solve the problem.

 

this might seem overkill but they now have steering dampers for the f3's for about 50 bucks or so.
