New design for clamp-on mirrors
Handlebar vibration doesn't just shake your hands, it also shakes your mirrors. Over the years, customers have told me many times how the image in their rear-view mirrors cleans up with our weights. Nowhere is this effect stronger than with the mirror right at the weight. Now, due to frequent specific requests for customs like this, we offer a stock weight for use with clamp-on mirrors, at a production price.
This design started out as a custom, but as the requests piled up, I had a run made. 13 oz. per side, the mirror mounts inboard of the weight, no need to move your controls or handgrip.
Available for 7/8" handlebars in:
- 303 Stainless Steel. Bare metal look, and it never rusts, no matter how badly you spill. Same stuff the whole way through.

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.
