Any good proven way to fight hand vibration on a k5? After about 15 minutes or so my hands are ready for a break. I was thinking of filling the bars up with silicone or something. Has anybody done this? :? Thx guys

I know a few guys that have used these in the past and liked em...I've never tried one myself.

Those are pretty expensive. Do you know anybody who has used them? What did they think of them?

there are some members on here that swear by them....
having your crank balanced will make a huge difference too...

They sound great just not sure if i could lay down $360 on handlebars

I hear ya...give the bar snake a go...and let us know how much of an improvement it makes.

Fasstco also makes anti-vibe bar inserts that help a lot. My cost on the Flex bars are more like $260. Flex bars help a ton. If your engine is old and the bottom end bearings need some love, do it. Flex bars with anti-vibe inserts and a balanced crank will get it smoothed out a ton.

I run Flexx bars on my 500. Well worth the investment!

I am a dealer, let me know when u are ready and I will get you the best price I can. They give a $50 discount around the holidays on top of my dealer price. Something to consider.
