Going back to the original Yamaha guards until i can find something thats more suitable
I understand the Barkbusters are quite meaty???
Anyone else suggest something thats not going to affect handling/vibration
Thanks in advance

This sounds really strange to me. I replaced stock handle bar with oversize aluminium bar, removed bar end weights and replaced upper triple clamp and handlebar clamp by some new version without any rubber seatings in it. I do not find any vibrations unusual to single cyclinders and even my GPS mounted on the handlebar takes it without any problems. Just rode 2600km withing 6 days.
You may want to consider foam grips, that work perfectly for me. Note you need to use special glue to make them stick in their position.
