Default reducing the buzzing

Has anybody tried heavier bar ends to help reduce the buzzing/vibration? Wondering if they work. Have any of you tried anything that works well for reducing the buzzing?

Nope. My bars don't buzz. Has the bike been down before? Maybe there is something rattling around inside the bar? Something loose around that area?
Oh, I don't really have a problem with vibration either...

Foam in a can, the insulation stuff.I have heard people talk about it, but I have no idea if it works.

Not an issue for me. I have heard those foam grips help for long rides and the said buzzzzzz. I wear good riding gloves and never feel a thing. [sm=smokin.gif]

My bike vibrates (buzzzz) a lot to me. My brothers old F2 used to buzz quite a bit too but not as much as mine. My bike's never been down, it's been vibrating since day 1. Got used to it if I rode for less than an hour. Now I'm planning a trip from AZ to Chicago, but there's no way I can do it without my hands going completely numb.
Problem with foam grips is that I would probably squeeze harder. The spray foam might help for long tubular bars, but probably not for short clip ons.
I'm going to try heavier bar ends next spring and maybe some gel grips.

I've got heavier bar ends on mine. They were made by a smaller company.....um.....KMsomething. Anyway, yes, they reduce the vibration which is especially noticable on long rides when your hands tend to get tingly.

My hands usually don't get tingly unless I'm riding 2-up.
