How heavy are the weights?

 

Never found the sporty bad with vibs at high revs, only found the opposite, below 3 it’s noticeable even with rubber mounts.

Weights would prob help at all rpm's. Just wonder how heavy they are. I have tons of lead I could make my own weights if they make a difference.

 

I didn't weigh them but are pretty hefty and solid, maybe a quarter pound each. ENJOY!!!

 

Thanks

 

Still useless without photos, 'cause now I have the mental image of a Sporty with two hamburgers on the ends of the grips. Outside of the States will they call it "Royale With Potato-Potato-Potato"? :P

 

You’ll get more vibs from loose front motor mounts as I first experienced than engine produced harmonics.

But if it works for ya, Glad ya passes on the info.

Ride safe dude 🤘

I can't speak for his bike but vibration dampers work, period. I have a semi auto 223 that has one on the end of the barrel, adjustable. You can dial in groups just by adjusting the damper. In addition they absorb recoil, etc.

On engines they work as well, that has been proven over time.

As for appearance, if I were to make any, mine would be cast lead that fit inside the handle bar ends and never seen. Seems like they would be easy to make, just find a sleeve with an ID just a hair smaller than the ID of the bars. I would pour molten lead down the sleeve, with a bolt standing in the middle. When cooled just slide it in the bars, put a nut on the end of the bolt and tighten the nut to squeeze the lead, to hold it in place.

Or you could do the same casting process and make it so you lightly hammer the lead slug in place and use the bolt to remove it later, if desired. The only disadvantage would be.......none.

I have done similar on old bikes I had before, but using lead shot and epoxy. Much more messy and more brittle, but just as effective.

I also used cast lead in the end of a 1/2" conduit, and use it to whack salmon when fishing from the bank. Works like a charm.

 

Not a great pic but this is it. ENJOY!!!

 

Ok have had this on for a few days, and went to top off the tank this afternoon, and when I pulled the cap off, the seal had swollen a LOT!

SOOOO DO NOT buy one from the link I posted. The seals must be regular rubber and not fuel rated. Mine is going back to amazon. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Already filed for the return, no charge and will get full refund. Too good to be true. I do like that style of cap though.
