K 1200 RS handlebars weights
« on: January 10, 2012, 05:00:16 PM »
I somehow got used to handlebars with weights. Not to care too much for vibration dumpening or for good look :neener:. Main reason is to have a massive place where one can push a heavy bike when the terrain becomes difficult. I simply got used to shift distribution of force to the ends of bars when it becomes too big to be handled by heated grips. When purchased, my beloved RS had heated grips but not bars weights :hmm:. So I finally decided to make my own solution. The inner core is made of stainless steel. It plays the role of the actual vibration dumper. The visible thing is made of duraluminium (I know, it can be better looking) and can be directly replaced by BMW weighs :popcorm.

Way cool DIY fabrication ______________.

Ya, handlebar weights definitively make a bike easier to counter-steer.

On a high mileage brick, you can see the wear patterns on the weights from pushing.
