Just put on the M-bars on Friday and gave the bike a quick ride. Didn't enjoy it, too much buzzng in the handle. Mirror just a blur during the ride. Gave the bike a long ride on Sat. and same problem, stopped at a few bikes stores and pick up some 50 watt halos for the turn signal relocation mod, lucky find. But no pipe snake and didn't want to lay down big money for the moto bar ends. Little pricey for some chrome metal. Getting ready to live with it for a while and started to add my highway screen back on the bike and no buzz. Didn't see that coming... must be cutting down the vibrations because the highway screen attaches to the bars. So problem solved and I didn't have to buy anything. Well except for the bullet lights but I wanted those anyway. Bike shops can be very costly to visit.

Hey anglen,
I am having the same problem with my M-bars. Unfortunately, I can't get a snake in there, but I am about to explore the bar end weights option. Also, I hear that tightening the allen screws on the clamp really helps. I am glad your wind screen solved your problem!

Heard lead pellets in the ends and sand, the list goes on. Just wondering that interupeding the vibration before it gets to the handle is better than weighting down the ends. The clamps holding my shield transfer the vibration to the windshield instead of my hands. Or seems to anyway.

I changed the stock mirrors to the Yamaha vstar mirrors (the ones made of real metal) and that ended the mirror vibration.
