rambodog Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I just added the Sato Racing stainless steel long bar ends on my FJ and so far I am loving them. I removed my handguards and have been experiencing a lot of vibration in the 5k to 6k rpm range. These guys with the weighted inserts have reduced the vibes significantly and look great! The 14mm inserts work well with our bikes. The extra 30mm weight won't go in because something is hanging it up, but I'm going to play with it and see if I can get them in there. If you are looking for some slick bar ends for your bike, these are pretty sweet. I may even add the lever guards in the future. Will post pics once I figure out how. http://www.satoracing.com/handlebarends_ducati.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am trying to visualize these with the KTM hand guards. Should work. They look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to trim the throttle tube slightly as it was hanging up a bit on the bar end, but other than that, I love these things! They feel great. Need to read up on how to post pics...soooo lazy.

So, a buzz reduction on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the most, how would you rate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to read up on how to post pics...soooo lazy.So, a buzz reduction on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the most, how would you rate them? I'd say that I really increased the buzz by taking the stock handguards off (the pair weighs almost 3 lbs according to my bathroom scale) and by putting the Satos on I got a solid 6 in buzz reduction. So in the end, I'm still behind stock levels, but I've got a set of grip puppies coming to even it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might only require a bit of a drill out to accommodate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambodog Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yeah, I haven't played with them since I put em in. I do have some levers coming so I think I'll pull everything apart and see if I can get the extra weights in there. I'm pretty sure that the only thing blocking them from going in are the dimples from the controls poking through the holes in the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilgo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Loving those bar ends in gun metal - they look the dogs do-dars imho !! I need to do something about the vibes I get at 3-4,500 k revs so I'll look into these. Guessing they'll ship over the pond to England ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Bit the bullet and bought these... Road around and they seem good... No turbulence when hitting the throttle hard from the hand guards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsimple Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 vibes are reduced but I just put on some grip puppies as they were not cured. I also have them on a Protaper Handlebar. Altogether way more comfortable and less vibey than the stock schiza. Also not my awesome home-made shorty screen But do not note the terrible mess in my garage. Been working porojects and it just keeps getting messier! 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
