Frame sliders, Vortex or Woodcraft, no matter who you ask :P
The best way to get rid of the vibration is to buy a vespa
This one is cute

i gotta second the HVMP bar ends for vibe reduction. I just picked some up and really felt a difference after a few days. Aesthetically tho, im not sold on them. I'd rather them just be simple and black instead of large and shiny silver.

but, they do the job very well.

Yea I agree with the silver, I would rather black but I just want a good pair of bar ends to cut down the vibrations since my bike has the 520 kit and the buzzing get to me on the freeway. Did you get the long or short? Do you by chance have any pics?

Does anyone think I would have a problem painting the HVMP bar ends black?

i think if you just scuffed the surface up with a high grit sand paper, then primed and painted it would work. I might do that too, if i ever get around to it
