Author Message   Buellridersww Posted on Monday, July 06, 2009 - 02:42 pm:        Wondering if any of you got the bar end weight for XB12X/XB12XT handlebar with handguards on? If you do which product would you recommend?   Froggy Posted on Monday, July 06, 2009 - 03:01 pm:        HVMP! You need to get the Extra Heavy if you still want to use the hand guards, they are the ones I use. http://www.hvmp.com/universal.htm   Roysbuell Posted on Monday, July 06, 2009 - 03:13 pm:        I have a question. What is the purpose of the bar-end weights?   Not_purple_s2 Posted on Monday, July 06, 2009 - 03:18 pm:        Quells vibration   Strada Posted on Tuesday, July 07, 2009 - 06:36 am:        They help dampen vibration, provide much needed extra crash protection and also give a much more secure mounting for the Hand Guards (which are only retained by a flimsey plastic insert!).

That will do the trick since I can now know the difference between with and without bar end. Believe me it does make a huge difference. (I had the bar end weights on my xb9s.) Now I need them for my Uly!!! Thanks for the advice.   Growl Posted on Tuesday, July 07, 2009 - 11:30 am:        I certainly have liked bar end weights on other bikes that I have had, but in defense of the Uly's "flimsey plastic inserts"... they DO absorb shock in a fall... and then they are super cheap and easy to replace... easier than straightening out bent handlebars.   Bitbear Posted on Wednesday, July 08, 2009 - 10:43 am:        Check out Maniac Salamander bar ends: http://www.manicsalamander.com/
