Hollow-Tube Bar-End Weights
Weights for 1" outer diameter hollow
handlebars
2 finishes available: polished chrome, gloss black
powdercoat
Looking for a throttle lock or stainless steel finish? Check out
the new Smooth
Citytm products.
!!!MANIC Salamander 1" Hollow-Tube mount is a metal-on-metal
mount which holds the weights centered in the bars, and won't let
them move.
On most applications, you need to chop off the end of the grip
and the throttle sleeve till it is flush with the handlebar end,
to install them. On many cruisers, this is complicated by plastic
or metal grips. It is still possible to do, but you have to have
some tools and skills. If you have normal rubber grips, all you
need is a pocketknife and a file.

These are our original style
Hollow-Tube weights for cruisers and other bikes with 1" handlebars.
They take care of a lot of the vibrations that are the hallmark
of big twins. They are as good as they ever were, but now
that our Smooth Citytm line
is out, we want to move these out.
Lucky you! They are priced
at less than wholesale, for as long as they last. No returns,
no warranty.
The difference between these
units and their Smooth Citytm equivalents, is
that these units are not adjustable for clearance to the
grips, the grips must be adjusted instead.
They fit all Harleys with:
- Grips that can be made to end at
the ends of the bars and do not overhang
- No air filler on the bars
- Cable throttle, not fly-by-wire
They also fit Suzuki cruisers,
replacing factory weights.
They also fit any other cruisers
with 1" handlebars, as long as they are hollow inside
and you can make a hole in the grip, and make the grip end
at the end of the bar.
Chrome is our shiniest, hardest
finish. It is mirror-polished. If you look close, you can
see my neighborhood reflected in the weights. Good stuff.

days, even for Harleys.

Our Polished Chrome is soooo
pretty! Mirror finish on all exposed surfaces. In the pictures,
you can usually see my neighborhood reflected in the chrome.
Getting from a machined to a polished finish takes lots of
dirty hand-work, and that is most of the extra price you
are paying over the other finishes.
Chrome is the most scratch-resistant
against minor scratches, because chrome is very hard. However,
by taking a spill or hitting it hard with a hard object,
you can break the chrome, and unit could rust in that place.
These units are straight-up
Bling, in addition to their vibration control function.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bar-End Weights.
Q. So why ever buy these, especially
since there are pretty aluminum ones for cheaper?
Q. How do they stay in?
Q. Who would want these?
Q. What bikes will they fit?
Q. What about MY bike?
Q. Why not for aluminum handlebars?
Q. Do they work? Users speak out!
Q. How do they work?
Q. How do bar-end weights change
the resonant frequency?
Q. Will all that weight on the
bar-ends slow down the responsiveness of my bike?
Q. Can't I just tough it out and
save money?
Q. Why are my hands numb?
Are you trying to cure discomfort in your hands?
Try reading our article about
hand numbness for information about factors involved including
medical conditions and the setup of your bike, along with suggestions
for some solutions.
Special warnings for bar-end weights:
This product is a resonant frequency reducer, not
a vibration dampener. The physics of vibration reduction suggest
that under extremely abnormal conditions of bar length, material,
and vibration frequency, this product may not work as advertised.
If you encounter such a situation, I would love to hear about it.
Of course, if I can't help you make it work, you can send the product
back for a full refund.
On most bikes this product has a negligible effect
on steering, since steering inputs have a great deal lower frequency
than engine-induced vibration.
HOWEVER! If your motorcycle tends to experience HEAD
SHAKE, this product may make it BETTER, or WORSE. Always ride with
great care after this product is installed, and carefully re-explore
the handling behavior of your bike. If you detect any kind of shimmy
or head-shake that was not there before, correct it before you
wipe out! This product may yet be usable, if tire-choice, and the
condition of the headset, shocks, and rear swingarm bearings are
corrected. If you can't work it out, you can send this product
back for a full refund.
