External bar ends on barkbusters - worth it?

Hi all,
anyone added those extra external bar ends on their barkbusters to help reduce vibrations? Mine already have the kit bar ends but it's still quite viby. Be interested to know.

Well, I've got them fitted, but I can't really say whether they make a difference or not because they've been on all the time the Barkbusters have!

I don't suffer from any serious vibration issues so read into that what you will...

I was getting numb fingers with oem handguards without weights at highway speed, switched to bark busters with weights and problem went away, haven't actually tried them without weights though...

I bought the extra weights with my barkbusters. Haven't tried them without but quite happy with them. Recently did 3000km in 4 1/2 days without any grief.

Thanks for the replies. I might order them anyway and give em a go, it can't get any worse. I don't think these bikes were ever designed with motorway travel in mind. I love this bike but the pain i get from motorway cruising is tough to deal with.

Different grips must help, any recommendations?
