Don't worry, I rode a 2013 without bar end weights and it would put my hands to sleep. After adding HVMP extra heavy bar end weights and grip puppies, the amplitude and frequency of the vibes have changed so much that it is a non-issue now. Just get the bars sorted and you'll be golden.

Ride a 1200cc Sportster for a couple hours at 80 MPH.
After that, you won't notice any vibration in your CB1100 handlebars!

Both hands, or just your throttle hand?

Novice question here - what is that adjustable thingy bottom front right side that looks like it may be a counter balancer ?


As pictured with 2 bolts and arm = balancer shaft holder ( for backlash adjustment)

Good to know. It will be fine I'm sure.

These bars look like dirt bike bars with the strut spanning the bars. The buzz feels like I'm riding a 250 single. Even at low speeds.

I am not seeing this coming up as an issue on the forum, other than a non feeling vibration that sneaks up on you after a while.

Want to pull the trigger on a stock handle bar setup. Thoughts? Anyone have a complete set for a 2013?
