Vibrational Remedies

Interesting solution, but that'd be like what, a pound (1/2 kg) of silicon in there??

From what I read elsewhere this doesn't really have much of an effect.
I'll say the end weights and inserts make a huuge difference though on my bike, highly recommend it

The 449 seems pretty smooth to me, is it a 511 thing, or are my worn old mechanic hands just numb?

Mines a 449 too. Its one of those things you notice more when its gone.

I've tried most of the anti-vibe remedies and the two I use on all my bikes are Spider M1 MX grips ($17) and Highway Dirt Bikes’ anti-vibration inserts ($40 with tap, tap guide & hand guard screws).

The HDB AV inserts weight just a little over 3 ounces and are, to me, well worth the small weight penalty. They not only do an effective job of dampening vibes they provide a rock-solid means of mounting my hand guards to the bar ends.

On my 310R I run Flexx bars (10 degree endure bend) with the softest comp & rebound elastomers (Blue/Yellow). These also offer significant vibration dampening in addition to Flexx bars' biggest claim to fame, shock absorption.

These are what I use along with Flexx handlebars. I have yet to find any better.

I installed one of these on my bike at the muffler mount. The reduction in vibration at the bars and footpegs is astounding for less than $10. My ability to ride long distances on the bike now with minimal arm pump and fatigue is significantly improved.

Is that installed on the upper or lower muffler mount?
