Young lady are a pretty good do it yourselfer. I think you will find you have less vibs in the bars now because of the mass of the mirrors being on the end like that. That is what those extensions on the ends of bars on most sport bikes are for. Little trick if you want. Take a solid round bar that just fits in the bars. Add o-rings around them so they fit snug in the bars and push them in to the bars. If they are not snug they will rattle. This will lessen the vibrations even more. You can even fill them with lead shot to do the same thing.

The vibration in the bars seems to be about the same as it was before. The Napoleons weigh a little less than the bar end weights I removed, but I also replaced the stock grips with gel grips at the same time.
Anyway, the end result was no change, but I have yet to take a long ride, and that’s when all the bothersome issues tend to make themselves known!
Thanks for the tip!
