hehe i had some skulls that are foamy on there and they still fell asleep. Ok I got the forks done tonight and put the bbs in lastnight in the handlebars. I took it out tonight around the block. Believe it or not the mirrors didnt shake as bad. But how can that be a real test right? I mean I need too get that bad girl into 5 th gear and clock her at 75 before doing some real tests. I will post more as I find out if the fix fixed the vib\s.

first 50 miler test

Ok
wind gusts up too 45 mph temp is 67. I saw only one other bike and that was at a gas station on the road. So its pretty gusty out here today.

Fix.
I put on new handlebars, (some from an old gs 850). I filled them puppies with copper bbs. Then siliconed the ends shut. Reinstalled the new reseal on the front forks and added the proper amount of fork oil 10w. Added air then bled off too 25 psi.
Added throttle rocker to the throttle grip


First test without windshield no vibration in mirror. 3rd gear at 4,500 4th at 5,200.
No problems with that test lastnight. Went for a quick 40 around the town.

Today. I put on the windshiled, took her out and didnt let her get below 4,500 I wanted it too be in the high rpms. 65 in 4th. 5,200 rpms. 75 in 5th 5,500 rpms. I didn't have my hands go to sleep the whole time. I kept pushing the limits, Now mind it was windy so I had too not fight the bike. Which too me would make me hang on tighter. I did notice a new noise the bb/s vibrating in the bars. Sounds like a loose timing chain type sound in the lowers gears. Didn't noticed it at all in the higher ones.
So based on this assumption I would say the bbs and throttle rocker and the new bars fixed my vibration in the bike.

So if this answers a question I would say yes it works.
Now one thing I did notice was that the mirrors vibrate more. But I am assuming that is because of thier mounts. I will see if I can find some shock absober for the mirrors.

As far as the vibration in your hands I put a set of these on my bike and they helped immensly in that department. (Not to mention they look cool)
