handlebar vibrations - can anything help

2015 fz07...I have Woodcraft clipons, I'm thinking dual-density gel grips and bar end weights (not sure which brand to go - I'm open to brand/type recommendations).

Is there anything else to look at ?

Woodcraft weighted bar ends = money well spent

My grip puppies may not be fashionable or high tech but they do make a contribution to reducing the vibes.

A while back I started noticing my bike was buzzier than I remembered it being. Was reading some things online where the 690 Duke guys periodically " relax" their frames to get rid of buzziness. Bike standing upright on a rear paddock stand, I slacked off all my engine mounting bolts, swingarm pivot and the the footrest brackets. Snugged em back up and the mystery buzz was gone.

That said, it's still not as smooth as it was when stock. Aftermarket exhausts release soundwaves or something that shake the whole bike. You can feel the seat rumble when you rap the throttle.

 

But yeah, the "relaxing" the frame thing worked! I didn't expect it to. I was pleasantly surprised!
