Handlebar vibration solution!

[toker_ace]

has anyone came up with a way to help with handlebar vibration? I wonder if you could fill them with water or syrup or something?

i fill all my handlebars and frames with expanding foam, the kind that comes in a can from lowes, it works great.

[toker_ace]

expanding? or non-expanding?

good idea on the foam. i would say the expanding. nice part with that is the stuff is bassically weightless. i am going to try it. i have used greatstuff for other things and like it. here is what it looks like

I just replaced my grips with some like these

Made a world of difference.

Does the foam really work? I wouldn't think that it would do much because the foam doesn't have much mass and you need mass to deaden vibration.

The more I think about it I think it would be easier to just get some padded gloves to wear? Like mechanic gloves or something.

Yes padded gloves will help your hands but, does nothing for mirror, speedo or anything else mounted to the hbars.

That foam is right up there with: duct tape, bailing wire and ty-raps! But not sure if it will help in this situation.

I just isolate my engines from the frame with rubber.
Why not eliminate the source instead of trying to band-aid a problem?
