sdkx500:
I bought a set of the Fastco anti vibration iserts.  I rode yesterday with them in a set of Protaper bars.  I believe it took about 30-40% of the vibration out.  I didnt stop to shake my hands out for once!

I received a set of the Fasst units free a year ago, and was a non-believer.  Best thing I have ever used to dampen the vibration.  Don't really care how "free" they were, if they didn't work, they would be in a pile in the shop.  

Currently, I run the Pro Tapers, Fasst units, +1 bar towers, and stock rubber bar mounts.  Never used the GPR's, but I am sure they are on the same principle.  Either way, I am positive you will not regret the purchase.  This one is like the reed spacer, a must have.

Next best thing to truing the crank.

I WAS CURIOUS WHAT BAR DAMPENERS WOULD BE LIKE WITH ALUM. BARK BUSTERS THAT ARE MOUNTED WITH TRIPLE CLAMP MOUNTS INSTEAD OF MOUNTED TO THE BARS. I RUN MOOSE "BIG BARS" DICK BURLESON BEND ( CR HIGH - 1.5" SHORTER) , BARK BUSTERS WITH CYCRA PLASTIC GUARDS. I GUESS WHAT I AM THINKING IS WITH THE BARK BUSTERS MOUNTED AT THE TRIPLE CLAMP, WILL THAT TAKE AWAY THE EFFECTIVNESS OF THE DAMPENERS? I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THOUGHTS ON THIS   THANKS

Rick:
Hmmm, good question.  I would think that you should still get some benefit, even if not the full-meal-deal.  If it were me, the cost is low enough to try.
