I've never tried it and im too lazy to take mine off so im here asking the Q:

Im getting all my stuff together for my track day (Saturday 14th) and im really thinking about getting some clip-ons to replace my upright/dirtbike style bar. my forks are the same size as the F4i so im thinking about going with some woodcrafts. do i really need bar ends? i <U>hear</U> that it makes the bars vibrate more and can even cause slapping in some cases.

 

::::

does no one know anything on the subject?

 

so many people (including me) use woodcraft/vortex/etc. clip-ons without any issues. don't sweat it. there are grips to help alleviate vibration.

 

I ran my SV for a few months 60+ miles everyday without bar ends and had no problems. I used oversized Oury grips with made it very comfy!!!!

 

I ride without bar ends and oversized grips every day. My bike had some cheapo ones on it and they fell off on the highway and i never got new oens. havn't had any problems yet

 

thanks everyone ill make sure i post lots of pics and videos of my track day!

 

Ive been riding with Vortex clip ons and no weights. Doesnt bother me one bit.

 

My bar ends came off while riding my f4i, i never replaced them. I really didnt see any big difference.
Seemed to ride fine!

 

i have some vortex clip ons on my naked sv and i was having a hard time finding some bar end's that actually fit. but it rides just fine to me, no numb hands or anything
