No, lets not let this place get like the other one. This has always been THE place where we can talk about new ideas, thoughts and products without fear of 8 cronies jumping in and attacking or defending the old way...
The members, here, were always cool to argue with as well. The arguments did not always end in agreement, but there was always a lot to be learned from the experience.
As far as "search", well, go figure......it is a 10 year old bike, and most topics have been covered...but, these bar ends were new, for me, and I dont mind talking about them. Even if its been covered 237 times before.
Regarding the vibration, for sure do check any and all possible sources before buying a band aid for the problem. Its stupid to buy these heavy bar ends if your vibration is because of a loose exhaust, or such...
But, assuming you have no loose bolts, engine mounts, exhaust mounts, etc, here are the heavy bar ends I mentioned.
http://www.hvmp.com/Kawasaki-s/1.htmI bought the "extra heavy" set. Way too expensive for a piece of well finished bar stock, but they do work really well.
They weigh just over 1lb, each....they show the "extra heavy" as being 17.2oz. Im guessing but they are probably 3-4 times as heavy as our stock bar ends...If my wife was mad, you would not want her throwing one of these at you.
I bought mine on ebay, used, and paid less, but after using them, I would have gladly paid the 85.00 or so for a new set.
As soon as I can, I'll get a set for my ninja 1000. The ninja has 10x as much vibration as the c14, and they worked awesoem on it, as well.
With these on the 14, and an Ivans reflashed ecu, the vibration is reduced to pretty much nothing. Way less than stock...
