So, I'm kinda curious what everyone is using for bar ends on their bike.

The stock things for now. No reason to change them. I will be putting on HVMP bar ends soon, I am working on scheduling a day for my CR to be measured to get a good fit.

Not that I need them, more of a why not kinda of thing.

Vibranator. Looks good and reduces the vibes in the bar.

Throttlemeisters. Not only do they damp out some of the vibration, they allow me to give my right hand and wrist an occasional rest on long highway drones...

I went with the colored Lockhart Phillips bar ends. Go the blue ones to match my blue windshield.

Finally got to try out the "Vibranators". They really work and look nice in natural color. I have the 1" handlebars from AmericanSportbike and combined with Uly pegs, my 1125R is perfect (for me) for longer runs than 150mi. A long time ago I did 30k miles (several years and track racing) on an SR500 and this bike reminds of that--just like 10 times the power! Saving my bucks for an Erik Buell Racing 1125R track bike.

How are the HVMP Regular bar ends working out? Did they work at eliminating the vibrations in the bars?

HVMP heavy bar ends. I just went for a ride with them today. They definitely reduced the vibrations but doesn't completely eliminate them. Hand still got a little numb but it was cold out. Seemed to take longer for hand to start to go numb and not as bad.

I bought a $10 generic set at a local metric shop.
Used the internal parts, some aluminum and my lathe and built the ends.
Each bar has 130 gms of #8 bird-shot in side too, zero buzz.

How do you put the birdshot in the bar ends? Is it encased or loose?

It's stuffed in a small ziplock bag and taped up so they don't break free.

I used $15 generics from the loco metric shop. They work fine and look better than the plastic plugs.
