The handlebar end weights are really pressure relief valves (I suspect they double duty) not unlike the pressure relief valve you see on pressure cookers. If these valves are loosened or lose their calibration handle bar pressure will suffer and the result in sag. Attempts to repressurize or use nitrogen will not be successful unless the pressure relief valve is repaired or attended to.
Adding heated grips can affect the relief valve as the additional heat will cause a pressure spike. While the bars can handle it (if you use factory supplied bars) the relief valves will need a slight adjustment with the seasons.
Honda sells a special tool for this, do not try to adjust them without this tool as it will void the warranty and cause your sperm count to lower. Why this would affect the warranty has never be properly explained to me.
