I agree with the other guys...sponge grips and maybe even a set of gloves with gel pads in the palms...they worked for me on my '03.

I don't think you guys should consider a Harley any time soon.
Btw bill, what were you getting at regards bar ends. How does a lighter bar end effect the bike?

Bar-ends are designed to reduce vibration - They are weighted and designed for minimum vibration around all RPM range.

When this problem has been raised before by other members, it has been found that the standard handle bar fittings had been replaced with a non rubber mounted ones or bar risers had been fitted.
I suggest that you just check that yours is stock before needing to alter anything else.

I'm surprised about the vibration comment. The busa is one of the smoothest bikes I've ridden. The F6 Goldwing pips it though.
I think a CZ400 was the worst vibrating bike I ever rode. I shot blood for a week after every excursion. Those eastern bloc engineers did have trouble making round ball bearings.
