Lost bar end and other comments

Here's a pic of the Suzuki bar end:



It's a little heavier then stock, but won't know until I ride if it'll help the buzz. We got a TON of rain, probably 4" in a couple of hours.

I have found the puppies help noticeably.

Grip Puppies are the first thing I bought for both my CB500XA and CB1100 EX. The rock hard, small diameter Honda grips cramped my hands within an hour. No cramping problems now. I do replace them every year because they do get grubby.

My deerskin gloves also get grubby and faded on the top from the sun. But they are inexpensive to buy (Mark's, Home Depot, Costco) so I replace them every year. The old ones become work or gardening gloves.

If the buzz is annoying at low revs, perhaps the [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8613&highlight=balancing+adjustment]crankshaft balancer needs adjusting.

On every bike I've owned in the last several years, I wrap the grips with foam bicycle handlebar tape, overlapping each wrap 1/3 of the tape width. It gives the stock grip some extra girth and adds a bit of cushy feel.
