Well it sort of makes sense to me, Ive had a lot to do with engineering and harmonics etc. pretty much any vibraton imparted on a large object ie: fork assembly will be amplified toward any lighter mass on the extremities of the object, ie grips...in some cases even the frequency can be doubled or quadrupled, and sometimes even go un-noticed. I would imagine that the weight of the original ends is calculated to be a happy compromise to deaden vibes at a broadish range of revs...without being ridiculously heavy, I had a long time ago considered improving the deadening on the old 1100 I had by using rubber as media between the bar and the dead weight... Never did try it though...fitting big soft grips is a compromise imho, no good for me though, my left hook would tear one to peices, and one of each would look ,,,well ,,,
