2017 vibration

Do you use J R Tyson for your powder coating?

Hi. Still waiting on the powder coaters. Difficult to push them as if I do they will do it as a batch on their own which will mean they cost twice as much. Don't know about priming and spraying. They are made with 316 grade to prevent staining and pitting.

I'm still interested GixxerChuck

Just to say that the @GixerChuck Positive Vibes bar ends are indeed very good!

I have the stainless version, and the build quality is first class ...

Re vibration, there is a significant reduction throughout the majority of the re range, to the point that I have never had a numb hand since.
Can literally ride all day with no problems ... my arse is the weak link lol!

Know what you mean, I have my arse covered by the comfort seat I bought on FB several weeks ago; makes a hell of a difference to me. Hoping to get the bar ends before my September trip to Spain then that's my weak link sorted...

Black ones picked up today. More stainless available Next week.

I've been contemplating the comfort seat for ages, I don't like how the OEM seat slants forward so much and is very narrow by the tank.
If I was designing a seat it'd be flat (like on the HP4 Race), moderately padded but wide front to back and wrapped in Alcantara for all weather grip.

Am very glad to hear you've been getting on well with the comfort seat.
I'm 6"2" so the extra leg room would do me well!

I'm sure you'll have the bar ends in time for your trip, and I'm confident they'll be exactly what you're after

I could be convinced to sell mine. With shorter legs like mine it's quite a reach (not like a GSA of course)

Cheers Alex, will bear that in mind!

I have bad vibration around the 3.8-4k limit. As alex said, Just use gears to work around it.

Quite right, it's an avoidable part of the rev range.

However, when cruising at motorway speeds the Positive Vibes bar ends are very effective .

OK
so ordered Friday, posted Saturday (as promised) arrive today - Tuesday.

1 minute to fit each side then out for a blast.....

good route up from home to cheddar gorge, then wells, then home... 40ish miles

Done this route a few times and always dead hands at certain streches...... but today.... no such problem

Amazing! left me to concentrate on the riding rather than thinking I can't feel the front brake.

I know you can ride around it, but now there's no thinking about it - just ride

Highly recommend - transformed the bike.
