Synch the carbs and the vibration stops. Mine does not vibrate at any rpm.

A Barsnake (barsnake.com) works well. Also, I like the Sunline Gran Touring grips. If they can quell the vibes in an XS650, they can help your GS.

I filled the bars with lead shotgun shot. This eliminated the vibs completely after a good sync job.

For bar weights go to your local disposal store and buy a handful of #3 or #4 pyramid-shaped fishing sinkers (sorry, can't remember their technical name - something about the sea bottom). The sinkers cost me $1 per pair. Hammer the bases out round, but bigger than the inside bar diameter, and drive them pointy end first into the ends of the bars. 3 or 4 each end should do the trick to form a couple of snug fitting plugs.
Oh yeah - take the grips, etc. off before doing this

You definately want to do a carb synch, can make a world of difference. You might also check the front motor mounts. They have rubber inserts and if yours are original they probably show some wear and harding of the rubber.
