handlebar ends

How's the 12's performance with aftermarket handlebar ends?good or bad?
any brand recomendations?with prior shake problems i'm kind of hesitant.i can only find those small ones,and they leave a gap in between the end and grip.i put em on sometimes if i'm not riding long,but want a better pair and some fedback.thanks.

If u get the lockhart ones, and it sounds like u did, U will have to machine the back side out to fit down over the end of the bar. I have a set on my bike. It might make the bars a touch buzzier but I think they look 10x better.

I run the intuitive bar ends. The black plastic guys look fine, fit perfect and I have noticed very little if any vibration. They weigh nearly nothing in comparisson to the stockers.

I ran those on my zx-9r and the vibrations were really bad.. switched back to oem.. still got sliders.. looking for some anodized gold for my 02' pmb.. but just want a simple bolt on...

I don't have any complaints. My 1361 has had the counter balancer (the engine has been balanced) removed as well. I have ran the stocker bar ends and the intuitives and there is very little difference. On a long trip I run throttlemeisters because of the convenience of the throttle lock.
