    Have the original bar ends been removed or changed? If so get a standard set at they do a lot to damp out vibrations. If not try heavier ones. I've heard of people adding lead strips to bar end weights and going out for a run. When the get the weight right they get new ones made up to that weight. They shouldn't be expensive and take only a few minutes to knock up on a lathe.

    No, it is all standard. It is not so much vibration as a high frequency tingle/buzz at higher, constant revs.
