Motorcycle Handlebar Vibration Dampers for 7/8 inch handlebars

Do your hands "fall asleep" when you ride? Do you find yourself constantly clenching your fists or slapping your hands against your legs to try to get rid of the "pins and needles"? This is caused by vibration, and it affects some people more than others. Handlebar vibration is a fact of life when you ride a motorcycle - some have a little, others have a lot. There are certain things you can do to reduce it. One of these is by rubber mounting the engine and the handlebars; another step that some manufacturers take is to mount weights in (or on) the handlebars. What this does is to increase the mass of the ends of the handlebars, and therefore, the amount of force required to move them. Vibration is a "cycle"; it moves an object in one direction, stops it, then moves it back in the other direction before stopping it and starting the cycle all over again. By making the object heavier, we increase its inertia; its tendency to stay at rest while at rest and its tendency to stay in motion once moving. If we make the handlebars heavier, the vibration will still try to move it in the same way as before, but now it must put a much heavier object into motion, stop it, move it back in the opposite direction, using the same amount of force as before. What this means in practical terms is that the movement will be less, since more of the "input" energy is dissipated. These vibration dampers are inserted into the ends of the handlebar and lock into place using a silicone retainer. Each damper weighs approximately 7.2 ounces, giving you an additional 14.4 ounces of dampening mass in the handlebar. Note that although a vibration damper may not completely eliminate the vibration, they WILL reduce it, and every little bit helps!
