Roy,
Was there a vibration reduction after loading the handlebars? What did you use for shot size?
Thanks,
Kurt
Kurt,
I would think that it is not the size of the shot that matters.
It is the fact that shot is there!

Actually, the smaller the shot size, the more you can put into the bars and the denser it can be.
I used #7 because that's what I have .

I would think that as long as you did not use deer slugs, there would be an improvement.

Actually, next time I do it, I'm going to pour melted lead into the handlebars. Can't get more dense than that.
I tried to add some internal weight to the Rockster handlebars last night. No can do. Seems they have wires in there for the heated grips and some kind of weird internal threaded thingy that will not allow anything to be "poured" into the bars. No big deal as this twin spark boxer has just about no handlebar vibration.....
