    Default Which barends you guys rocking

    Looking to replace my stock ones for something heavier so I can get rid of some vibration. Don't want metal ones since they tend to stick into the ground but I am open to hear all options. Also, want them to be longer then stock.

    Your best bet for getting rid of vibration is to get new thicker grips and weighted bar ends (meaning metal). Some of the plastic delrin sliders actually have some weight to them and are longer. But grips will be your #1 factor here though most likley

    None, fill your bars with silicone. It will help alot.

    That is another issue. I hate thick grips! Can't stand it and always run thin grips so I get a better feel while riding. I wanted to see if anyone knew of some specific heavy derlin style barends since the regular ones can actually make vibration even worse. Want them longer then the shorty stock ones too just incase of a drop.

    I have heard of filling them but not with silicone. Still would need some kind of barend that would fit on there.

    I'm actually using a set from my old 04 Try-umph Daytona 600 because they're stainless & nice and heavy. You do have to increase the size of the drill and counterbore on them to fit the larger screws our clipons use to get them to work.

    Another thing that helps is using the clipons that Kyle Racing offers, because they use a solid bar instead of a hollow one, so they add more weight and kill vibration.

    On the grips, personally I like a thinner, smaller diameter grip so it doesn't feel like I'm grabbing a fire hose, so I go with renthal mediums or hards.

    Just stock. Don't plan on running aftermarket unless something happens and they need replacing.

    Ya just trying to stay with stock if I can. Did you ever worry about the metal ones catching and sticking into the ground if you ever went down? That is the main thing I am worried about and why I am swaying towards trying to find a heavy derlin style barend.
