    Hi recently i have been experiencing, vibration through the bars, on ride out sunday it was bloody terrible, pins and needles in my hands, i think i may have cracked it, (thanks to this site) recently i bought some fancy grips, with what can only be called fancy gold washers for bar ends, do you think this might be the cause of the problem, thanks ken

    wouldnt help not having proper weights at the end.
    one trick to get rid of the numb vibration in your fingers
    is to press the tip of your thumb tight against the tip
    of the numb finger.....a trick ducati riders have to do on long runs.

    I had similar issue as my bike had some crap after market bar ends. Fitted R&G bar end sliders and it improved so assume they are close to OEM weight?
