any good way to lessen hand vibration?
« on: July 13, 2014, 12:35:23 AM »
Any good proven way to fight hand vibration on a k5? After about 15 minutes or so my hands are ready for a break. I was thinking of filling the bars up with silicone or something. Has anybody done this? :? Thx guys

Those are pretty expensive. Do you know anybody who has used them? What did they think of them?

Fasstco also makes anti-vibe bar inserts that help a lot.  My cost on the Flex bars are more like $260.  Flex bars help a ton.  If your engine is old and the bottom end bearings need some love, do it.  Flex bars with anti-vibe inserts and a balanced crank will get it smoothed out a ton.

I am a dealer, let me know when u are ready and I will get you the best price I can.  They give a $50 discount around the holidays on top of my dealer price.  Something to consider.

I'll get a hold of you when im ready to get them. My better half looked at me like i was crazy when i told her how much i was planning on spending on handlebars. We just put new ones on her bike so she knows how much regular bars are so i cant just say thats what they all cost lol
