Check out the review of the 7/8" bar-end weights in the September 2004 issue of American Motorcyclist magazine.
I installed you're 2 inch handlebar weights on my 2002 Harley Davidson
FXDX superglide. The
weights made a very noticable difference in the amount of vibration in
the bars. There is no longer any
objectionable vibration in the bars above 2200 RPM and the mirrors are
clear which is a real
improvement. This bike has a 117 inch stroker motor that transmitted more
vibration through the bars
than the stock 88 inch motor did so to say the least I am very impressed
with you're product.
thanks, John Stewart
Hi Paul -
Sorry for the delay. I just got a chance to try out
your bar ends on my 1971 Honda CL450. Went on a 150
mile ride on Saturday and while the rest of me was
sore, my hands weren't numb at all. Before I put on
the bars the 10 mile commute to work used to numb my
hands. Your bar ends worked brilliantly and they look
great.

To whom it may concern,
I would like to thank you for making such a fine product that actually
works !
I purchased a pair of the 7/8" black powder coated Manic Salamander's
from you last week. They
arrived in a few days and were very easy to install.
I proceeded to go on a 260 mile ride on my 03 Kawasaki Concours that I
had installed a Storz
adapter and Flanders Mini Ape Hangers. Before the installation within
25 miles I had a "buzz" that was
so annoying that it would put my hands to sleep. After the installation
I can ride until the tank
hits reserve (240 miles) with no fatigue at all. I can safely say it reduced
the "buzz" by 80 -
90%.
Thanks for the great product,
Kurt Nordstrom
I was able to mount my stainless steel bar ends to my 25 year Kawasaki
and could not believe the
difference my ride was! My bars are as smooth going 75 as they are
going at 0. My hands thank
you, my arms thank you and I thank you for a great product. (Only one
flaw. If I wanted to return
them it would have to be the weights only because the mount section becomes
a permanent part of the
bike, but hell who wants to return them!) I am going to let all
my KZ650 riders know about the
weights and the difference it makes.
Thanks again,
Pete Kareski
(note: Mr. Kareski was among our first customers. He experienced a tight
fit. As of 10-4-03,
all further units shipped were modified to fit in smaller ID’s of
bar.)
Paul, the weights worked very well on my 2003 Suzuki Bandit 1200. The
bike is famous for it's
tendency to vibrate the handlebars at certain engine speeds. The
addition of your bar end weights
virtually eliminated the buzz. I just returned from two fairly long
trips and can report success.
Where I had to wear heavy gloves with the stock Suzuki weights,
yours allow riding without any
padding -- even gloveless is okay now too.
A great product -- one I can heartily recommend. A friend with a
Kawasaki Concours is a
candidate for some now.

Hey Paul,
I took a couple of rides on my bike. The handlebar weights really ROCK!
I
used to shift by 'feel', because there was so much vibration. Now, I
actually catch myself checking the tach, before shifting, because the
vibration is so reduced. It's nice to get a product that looks good, AND
works as advertised. Also, thanks for your extra work to ship them here
to
me. And it looks like you spent a few extra bucks of your own on shipping
also. Thanks for everything.

Dear Paul,
Thank you for all of your help today. I can feel a real difference in
the
vibration in my bars. I just geared my front sprocket down and even with
it
geared down I can feel a difference. I really want to thank you for coming
in and puting them on for me. I hope I didn't look like too much of a
hack
from throttle tube being so chewed up. Thank's again
Peace
Brian from the hitching post parts department.
WOW man thank you so much, they took my vibes from about a 10 to a solid
3,
they are more of an afterthought now I feel more vibes in the pegs than
in
the handlebars and I never noticed the pegs b4 it just I'm not rubbing
my
forearms after riding and only took about 5min to install, the tubes seem
a
little bit bigger than 7/8ths but they don't seem quite a 1" but
its
possible they don't move around or anything but they didn't look as much
of
a snug fit as the picture but the bars were made for screw-in barend's,
either way thanks alot I'll send some pics later on –Ben
