Hi, anyone can recommend a good Bar End Weight and Handle Bar grip? Read it could reduce vibration/increase protection also make reduce the strain on the hands.

Are they universal?

They are usually bike specific and non universal.

I had a YouTube video that demonstrated it's effectiveness.

Though, lately I'm not using them and thinking of selling mine, interested?
What bike you have btw? Mine is a R25 and the bar end I've gotten is HVMP USA

actually its my first twin cylinder bike and im still breaking in the bike @ 4000rpm. Can feel a lil vibration, but I do not have any comparison. Also understand that vibration will smooth out after more mileage.

Was reading about bike modification in general and the bar end weight came out. So i thought might as well just get it.

Bar end is usually universal unless you are having 1. Super moto/moto cross handle bar which are a tad bit smaller , or you are on a cruiser which the handlebar is a tad bit bigger.

Or you could consider buying handle bar mirrors which actually allows you to look directly behind you. Buy quality ones , cheap on are loose

can try .. but my opt is more suitable for smaller bikes.. since middleweight capacity motorcycle the handle bar is not the anchor balance for entire bike weight.. your footpeg plays more dominant part on that..

I am on V-Twin rumble since 1957.. yet they didnt come with bar end weight haha..

Anyone got any luck finding a good bar end weights? Haha the ones from lazada are more aesthetic than functional, not that weighty.

I wonder if I can just diy some bar end inserts and see

i previously used the barracuda bar ends on my Z250. ive never used OEM before as i bought the bike used.

recently changed to OEM Z250 bar ends...and holy shit wat a difference it made. im gonna stick to stock from now on hahahah

ive heard some say the OEM Yamaha TZM bar ends are quite heavy... but not sure about the installation compatibility etc as ive never seen it myself.

HVMP is good. But factor in shipping fee it became abit too exp liao.

All inline twin vibrates. Hell even inline4 (xj6, cbr650, s1000xr, gsf1000) also buzz like hell. Just get used to it.
