Anti Vibration Bolts?

**schoeney** · 02-16-2009, 12:45 AM

I was in the local shop and noticed some anti vibration bolts/screws. They were $10 a pair and came in several colors and chrome.

Anyone tried these? Any luck?

I don't really feel any vibration but do notice since I installed my risers my bars vibrate pretty good at idle.

Where do you use these things Greg?

You can buy a lot of blue Loctite for what you'd spend for those bolts.

I didn't describe these very well.

These things screw in the end of you handlebars...here is a link to what they look like...although these are not the brand I saw at the local shop.

huh?

OK I get it now.
They are inserted into the ends of the bars to dampen vibration.
From your first post I thought they were bolts to use where ever you thought the vibration would back a regular bolt out.
I was going to suggest blur loc-tite also

Those are bar end weights. they come standard on some bikes. I would not rec'd adding them on however. :-)

i installed a set on a suzuki bandit 1200 i had and they helped
with the high speed finger numbing vibration that is common
with four cylinder engines.i doubt they would do much for the
handle bar shaking at idle that you describe.
