  |  Need ideas for handle bar vibration I just bout a new gxsr750. Now I have gloves on order..but I noticed that after riding about 50 miles...I feel my hands shaking... The dealer's parts person said he heard of carbon fiber handle bars..or even putting BB's..probably packing them in the handles bars to stop the vibration. Any ideas on this. It might also be something as simple as wearing gloves. |

| Bar end weights, the "Bar Snake", and the "Liquid Bar Snake" are options. Carbon bars are probably very light weight and might make the problem worse. Are you wearing gloves?

| You know I wasn't wearing gloves. Today Thursday morning and I just got the bike on Tuesday night. BTW it's a 2004 Gixxer 750. I'm getting in a set of Teknic ones any day now from a friend. I've heard that gloves will help and make for a more comfortable ride. Do you agree about the gloves? Besides for safety.

| Yes. I have two pairs of gloves, and I bought them both fitting snugly. I fit them by wetting them and wearing them in on a warm day. Most gloves are pre-curved, but not quite enough. Once you get used to wearing gloves you won't want to ride without them. I can't imagine grinding my hands into the pavement again.

| Thank you for your help. I just took lunch and stopped over at the Suzuki dealership and they fixed me up with a Pair of Leather Hooligan street gloves.
