Great Stuff

[scduc]

So I come to the conclusion that I must start looking at ways to eliminate (greatly reduce) the vibration to my right hand while riding. The right mirror vibrates pretty bad compared to the left. I have done some test and conclude that yes better fitting gloves are needed, but that does not resolve the left versus right difference. I have a G2 throttle tamer, which is aluminum probably doesn't help. I think that for my first step, I want to try and fill the stock bars with "great stuff" or maybe "Shoe Goo" or some large pieces of Carbide in addition to the bar ends. If this does not work, my next step will be to get some Rizoma bars. These may help with the position, but how do they work against vibration? There are many possibilities. The belts have 11k on them, so they may need to be adjusted/replaced. Ive read about "grip puppies" some say they work. 15 min. ride in 50deg temps have me fiddling with my thumb and index finger to keep the feeling alive. Has anyone tried using "Great Stuff"? Did it work? I guess I'm looking for a "what works" and "what doesn't".

I used a black silicon windscreen sealant which I filled the bars with for a few inches and plugged with platic caps. Works well to my surprise in my alloy bars. No bar end weights and an inch cut off each end.

Plush grips will help and Ive read good stuff about the throttle tamer, palm rest products but nfhe. You dont have an alloy throttle grip? If thats what you meant then that could be pretty harsh.

i have a lot of trouble with my factory mirrors moving a lot.

Vibranators work well, particularly with the high frequency buzz, they don't do much for the low rpm throbbing, plus when a box shows up at your place with a big bold "VIBRANATOR" printed on the front and your wife goes to pick it up she'll blush    We have them on the wife's monster and its pretty much completely vibe-free above 5k rpm. 

I've also heard of folks having good luck filling the center of the bar up with some sort of silicone, but leaving the straight part of the bar open and then filling that bit about 2/3rds full with shotgun shot, then cap it all off with bar ends.  The shotgun shot is free to bounce around and kill vibes - sorta the same idea as a vibranator.  No FHE on this method, but the theory sounds like its solid.
