You can get plastic bar end plugsOkay - pulled a blank with request for other's experience with lead shot - but being a masochist...
Any suggestions for what to use as a "plug" to hold the shot in place. As a last resort I could use the bar-end mirrors but that will suck each time I want/need to remove them (ie: have to push the shot back into the bars).
Needs to be thin so as not to waste space that could have shot in it.
Yours hopefully!
Thanks Baz, but my bar end mirrors protrude up the bars by about 60-70mm, so I want something I can insert, around that far, to hold the shot in place.You can get plastic bar end plugs
Maybe use some of those with some silicon to retain them? Put the hand grips over them
Maybe just fill the handlebars with shot if your not worried about the extra weight
Might take some experimenting but if you have the spare time it should make a difference
Let us know
Cheers
Just use the plastic bar end plugs like Baz says. Trim off the edge that keeps them from going into the handle bar. Push them into the handle bar to where you want them.Thanks Baz, but my bar end mirrors protrude up the bars by about 60-70mm, so I want something I can insert, around that far, to hold the shot in place.
As stated, the default position is to use the mirror mounts to act as dams - less than ideal though.
It was on a Kawasaki GTR1000, I had changed the bars, and not re-fit the bar end weights. Big mistake. The lead shot did little to quell the buzzing.Any results worth mentioning?

Well they must vibrate to some extent...PJFlynn. Listen to the isolastic advice. Commandos with good isolastics don’t vibrate at the handlebars.
Have you got the standard pegs?My bars are fine too. But the footpegs vibrate below 2500rpm. Can't see how to fill them with lead shot, so I'll just keep it over 2500rpm!
No reason for a Norton to be under 2500 while in motion. Goes against all DNA.My bars are fine too. But the footpegs vibrate below 2500rpm. Can't see how to fill them with lead shot, so I'll just keep it over 2500rpm!
