Well, there is not much to see really once it's installed. The pic below shows a different bar-end weight from stock provided by Yamaha. There is a hole in the middle to allow the screw to go all the way through, not threaded through though which I think would be better to give it a tighter fit. Admittedly, it's not the prettiest setup. I would like the bar-end weight inside the handguard, but oh well.



Here ( http://www.vibranator.com/ProductDet...D710%2DN%2D003) is the vibranator. Mine is slightly different as it is for use WITH the handguard. Mine doesn't have the rubber at the end. Instead, a threaded hole is at the end of the shorter cylinder, which allows a long screw go all the way from the bar-end weight, through the handguard anchor, and connect (loctite) to the vibranator. The vibranator has some weight, but not a whole lot. With the setup, the vibranator doesn't touch the inner wall of the handlebar. Hence, it allows the resonance from the vibration to dissipate, so it claims, and it works for me. Some bloggers even say it is better than Flexx handlebar, foam handgrips, and other products that claim the same thing. Best result still comes from the combination of both the bar-end weight and the vibranator IMHO.
