[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 1306822, member: 615"] Add weights to the underside of both handlebars. The underside or backside of each handlebar includes a large hollowed-out volume. One could fill this volume with lead weight, etc. and I'd expect this would greatly attenuate the handlebar vibration. Much of the vibration energy would likely be tamed by this extra mass. The handlebars are not all that different from tuning forks. Vibration forces are applied at the base and the amplitude of the vibration increases the farther from the base. One might also add a very thin sheet of hard rubber or other somewhat flexible material between the handlebars and the upper bracket. Pass the three handlebar mounting bolts through the flex material. [/QUOTE]
