Do you run with handguards or bar-ends ?

Just wondering really. Sometimes have instability with handguards fitted. I recall on my previous XTX that when i fitted handguards the stability was not quite as good.

So just got myself a pair of barends to test.

I have Touratech handguards with the supplied barends.
Haven't noticed more vibes than i had with the stock.

No option for me to vote?
I have oem guards with supplied weights and original oem bar end weights fitted on the outside as well, not a vibe in sight.
No instability at all either.

Venom universal hand guards with no bar ends.

I've never had any problems.
