Greetings,
In the search for minimizing handlebar vibes I tried a different approach. Bar weights are usually on the OUTER ends of the bars. wWhy not add weight to the INNER ends? I tapped the inners witha 5/8-11 tap. Cut some all thread, added washers/nuts and the kitchen sink to find what weight would make a diff. Added safety wire so that this hunk of metal would not vibrate out and hit the car behind:) It actually made a good difference! Try it!
Future plan... will use this weight data and scupt stainless steel cubes to resemble Viking warriors:)

Interesting, I never thought of adding anything to the inside of the bars, but now I'm thinking about tapping the bars there for a cup holder instead. :)
And I just noticed that one of the caps is missing from my bars in that location.
