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.
