Posts: 14 Guilford, CT USA Gender:	Handlebar Buzzing 08/22/12 at 14:39:50 Has anyone used this product before to reduce handlebar buzzing?? http://www.barsnake.com/ Also, if I decide to put lead shot in my handlebars, wouldn't that stuff rattle around like crazy? Sorry if this is a dumb question

I think you could drill the slugs and pour shot or BBs into it if you really wanted to. I have an aftermarket wide drag bar on mine and took the suggestion but loaded it with BBs instead of lead shot. BBs were less expensive and lighter and seem to work very well. After filling the bar I finished both ends with epoxy to seal 'em in. As long as you tap it a few time to make sure everything has settled before sealing, it works perfectly.

However, please be sure it's the bars and not the speedo or headlight. My headlight drove me nuts for quite while before I got it fixed.

My stock handlebars don't buzz at all, but my girl's aftermarket ones do. I notice a huge difference between both our bikes. My hands will go numb after 1/2 hour on the highway using her bike. Lead shot sounds like the way to go. I checked the headlight and speedo and they are solid. Will also look into ISO grips.

You guys are the best.

Makes a very noticeable difference with mitigating handlebar rattling during higher speeds. Looks like we will stick with the front fender for now. I want it to be as smooth as possible for her so I think I will still stuff the aftermarket bars with something like lead shot.
