Has anyone found a cure for this? I did read that filling the bars with silicon works, is this a fact / has it been proven to work?

I have hand guards fitted with standard bar end weights, doesn�t seem to make any difference if the hand guards are removed, so I don�t believe these are the problem. So if anyone has found a cure please post what cured the problem
Had the same problems with the standard bars. Mirrors became useless at any decent speed. Crashed, fitted Renthal Jimmy Button bars, problem solved!
