What bar end weights do you guys have? Do they help? Do they effect the handling? | ||

I use nice big ones from HVMP . They are the Heavyweight Stainless steel ones. They help damp handlebar vibration, look nice, and provide a useful measure of protection if the bike falls down. Made by Johnnylunchbox, if I recall correctly, a brother Buelligan. ( Hope I got that right:-) web site is:http://www.hvmp.com/universal.htm They look like this:  At $55 they are a very good value. | ||

+1 to them!  | ||

Do they hamper the throttle at all? Reason I ask is I had some bar end mirrors on my Blast and the throttle would sometimes stick a little. | ||
| Delta_one |
you can fix any stick by trimming back the grip just a hair | ||

Thanks, one other thing for the SCG just the heavy not the extra heavy? I think I will get them powder coated black to match. | ||

I have been thinking of picking up a pair of weights for some time. These look very nice, but... Anyone know of a few more companies that make them? Especially ones that are black Thanks, Alex | ||

I have an 09 so I am also looking for something in black. | ||

If they stick, you installed them wrong. You just loosen the screw a tad and slide it out a hair and re-tighten. That yellow O-ring is my throttle lock, I drop it in-between the barend and grip to give instant cruise control.  | ||

HVMP can have them coated in almost any color you want. Give them a shout. | ||

Cool option for any looking to do weights with bar end mirrors: use Oberon LED bar end turn signals. Vibes don't matter with bar-end mirrors - for some reason, they are always rock steady. So if I were to want to add something to the ends of my bars, I would do something that does double duty, and gives me cool, extra-visible turn signals as well. Plus, the signal is visible from beside and behind the bike as well as in front, so others see them (and the rider sees her blinker is still flashing and cancels it).

those look good | ||

After a few e-mails back and forth HVMP is delivering bar end weights to the powder coater and I should have them late next week. | ||
| Hammer71 |
Prepped and ready for coating in the A.M. will post a pic of them for you when they are done. Makes the wait for the mail that much more fun. | ||

I've wanted some but didn't want to loose my hand guards... but I saw this on the hvmp site: http://www.hvmp.com/images/universal/x_heavy_on_bu ell_ulsses.jpg Are they modified or?? | ||
| Roysbuell |
The Extra Heavy bar-ends fit with the hand guards. | ||
| Johnnylunchbox |
The Extra Heavy ones are designed to work with the Uly or CityX handguards. Just to clarify. My wife owns and operates HVMP. I am merely a spokesperson. | ||
| Johnnylunchbox |
BTW, those look great, Hammer! | ||
| Valiant_duke |
Lunchbox, Can your wife make/ get the Just heavy one coated in flat black? Thanks, Alex | ||
| Johnnylunchbox |
I think so. | ||
| Valiant_duke |
cool, should I just email her? Thanks, Alex Oh and what is your wife's name? | ||
| Johnnylunchbox |
Duke, info@hvmp.com if you need to contact her, her name is Sue, but I'll let her know what you need. | ||
| Valiant_duke |
right on, thanks. I will shoot her an email. Thanks. | ||
| Froggy |
I might have to get mine done now... | ||
| Johnnylunchbox |
Hammer, you outdid yourself. The powder coating is A+. | ||
| Hammer71 |
Glad you like it, the other ones are ready as well. | ||
| Johnnylunchbox |
Those would be Mr. Duke's bar ends. |
