My 87 has the stright bars that, oddly enough, did not have the bar end weights. So, I hammered in a rubber stopper, filled my bar with lead shot, thumped it with a rubber mallet, and drove another rubber plug into the other end.
Vibrations are a lot less than before, and get reduced further with the ISO grips and my gloves. Yes, gloves make a difference.
Another option would be to just get some bar-end weights and install them. There's only so many things you can do to lessen vibration, put an absorber in between the tree and the bars, add weight to the bars, put an absorber in the bars, gel type or at least good rubber grips, and good gloves.
It's a thumper... she's gonna shake!
