Hi all, I hope everyone is doing well.
I was wondering if anyone had a brand suggestion for good bar-ends to help mitigate the vibration on a GSXR 750? Doesn't take too long for my hand to go numb.
I'm not sure which one's are the best and where to order/pick them up.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

I can't imagine any aftermarket brand working better than the OEM Zook ones, to be honest.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

The heaver the better. I just ordered some LighTech ones that should be here any day now. I will post up when I get them.
Also you could look at some gel grips.
I have considered these for my R1. Here is the direct link to the Gixxer model.

Before I sold the Daytona, I put Heli Bars on it and found it to have a pretty bad Vibration.. So I took the bar ends off so I could order new ones.. and found with out the bar ends it was 90% better.. Not Quite Perfect but easly rideable so I left them off!
Hi T.
I ran some aftermarket chrome ones on the 08 but never noticed it much.

Definitely interested as well. After 50 miles or so, I start doing the "finger-wiggling" to get the blood going again.

You can get a 2-fer with the Throttlemeister. Heavy bar ends and a poor mans cruise control in one package.

I use the cruise control part of this all the time to give my thottle hand a rest during the staight parts.

How do those work exactly? Do you push or click the bar-end or something, to set the throttle at the current speed? I assume it's very easy to quickly disengage it?

I have these on my VFR. They definitely work well on a V4, and they give a discount to CSCers.

When you install them, you use the shims provided to provide just enough tension against the throttle to hold it in place when engaged. A simple twist of the bar end engages it and its just as easy to disengage, again, via a simple twist.
Given that its a throttle position lock more then anything else, its not going to adjust for hills or anything. But, its not holding the throttle so tight that you can't move it, its just harder to turn and stays in the last position you set it at. Maybe this sounds complicated but its very simple. The trick is to install it with the proper shims that requires some trial and error. Took me about 10 minutes and three tries to get it right.

I filled the throttle side on my VTR with BB's and then replaced the bar end. It drastically reduced vibration and hardly cost anything.
