Bar ends?
« on: October 26, 2009, 03:42:30 PM »
As with all R65's I get a lot of vibration through the bars at 2500 and 4500 rpm.

Has anyone fitted anti-vibration bar ends?
If so, is there a big improvement?

Thx
Steve

The low frequency vibration around 2500 RPM is not at all bothersome except it blurs the mirrors a little so I cast some lead weight to make internal bar ends.

Seemed to make no difference so I took em out.

Less is more when you only have 35 HP.

Making sure that your engine is in a good state of tune can go a long way in eliminating some of that vibration, with emphasis on carburetor balance.
