bar ends

excoastie · 03-29-2007

I just installed a set of "anti-vibration" bar ends from Hudson Valley Motorsports on my Z750 and I can't believe the difference. The bike was pretty smooth to begin with, but after about 30 to 45 minutes of riding my hand started to get numb. With these new bar ends I've not noticed a numb hand even after 90 minutes of hard riding.

Anyone else got any experience with heavier bar ends? They work for me... what about everyone else?

Have R&Gs and they seem heavier than stock...No difference for me. Weighted bar ends are supposed to be beneficial...Seems the same to me.

I have stock bar ends, but did try some different grips to solve the numbness issue. Spider Grips are what worked for me.

That is a good call...Last year alone I went through 5-6 different kinds of grips. Once I found them I bought two pairs.
