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.

Hi josephau
Do you know who has made those bar weights? I would be interested in getting ones because I also have a Magura handlebar with Acerbis handguards so I can't use the original weights.
