    Looking to put on some aftermarket grips just to try and reduce some minor vibration. Just wondering about these grips or are there better ones out there. Any information would be helpful cheers.

    A trick from the 70’s was to simply add mass to each end of the handle bar. We’d buy a sheet of about 3 mm thick lead, cut a length at least as wide as the hand grip (wider really as we didn’t have internal wiring so we could shove it right down to the first bend in the bar) then roll it up tight till you could just insert it into the end of the handle bar. 
    Then whack the centre of the lead end with a chisel to spread the last 20 ml or so which stopped it moving inside the bar. One roll each side worked quite well and cheap. 
    You’d need to be mindful of any internal wiring these days.

    Yeah...we knew how to do it back then.
