Bar Ends that Work
What kind of bar ends are people running on there bikes? Took a 1500 mile round trip on my 848 evo over the weekend and two days later all of the feeling still hasn't returned to my left hand. Think it might be time for some good vibration reducing bar ends. Any Suggestions?

I've got R&G bar ends with sliders on the 848 that work well, I've also got rhinomoto's with crg mirrors on a monster with clipons, but I haven't put down any distance on that yet.

Just picked up a pair from LuckyBike. I had them on my CBR and they worked great to kill vibrations. They work just as well on my 848 too!
They don't sell ones specifically for Ducati, so I bought the model for Suzuki. I had to trim the small rubber piece that's used to compress instead the bar to hold the bar-end in place, no big deal. After doing that the bar-ends fit just fine. Can't beat the price either! Just not a lot of options for color (black or chrome). Bar Ends - Suzuki - Weighted - Bar Ends |

Thanks for the imput.
The Motovation bar ends look nice and that long counterweight looks like it would actually do something and the bar end mirror compatibility is a nice feature. Probably going to go with them but I couldn't find a Ducati model specific unit on there site. Did you guys get the Universal Version? Also anyone have any experience with these: Anti-Vibration Inserts | Fasst Company |

Not sure if anyone said this as I skimmed the responses but try to loosen your grip a bit. Always helps me on longer rides. Of course I'm talking about the GT. My 1098 was basically used at the track as FL roads suck ass. So only did about 2K road miles.
