BarkBuster External Bar End Weights

After riding the bike for awhile with the barkbuster strom hand guards  there seems to be some noticeable amount of vibrations coming from the handlebar, especially from on the right side. This could be due to the replacement of the original bar end weights with the ones supplied with the barkbuster kit. 

Wrote to barkbuster and they recommended trying to install the additional / external bar end weights which sit perfectly on the outside side of the hand guards  which also provide additional weight hence in theory should reduce the vibration on the handlebar. 

Here is the installation of the external bar end weights from barkbuster. Model code B66 and weights in about 180grams for each unit. Installation was pretty straight forward, and all you have to do is remove the original screw and put in the external bar end weight and screw back using the extra long screw provided in the package.






Took the bike out for a spin after installation and found some improvements in terms of vibration to the handlebar. It did not remove all the vibration but at least seem to did it job by reducing it.
