Foam grips would be cheaper.

A 3 or 4 inch length of steel bar glued into the bar ends works wonders as well..Make each one the same so the bars stay balanced.

Your 650s should be silky-smooth. Adjust your valves and sync your carbs, you won't need any add-on gizmos.

What Steve said. A GS 650 should be very smooth.

The heaviest production bar end weights I know of are from the Hayabusa. A lot of guys replace these with fancy ones, so the Busa weights come up pretty often on Ebay for cheap.

For my Harley "cafe bike", I plugged the inside of the bar with some dense foam rubber, then filled about 6" of each end of the bar with lead shotgun pellets, then another foam plug before the bar end. It didn't kill the vibration, but it sure did help.

Well, my bike has no problem with vibration in the handlebars. These so called vibration damper are good for, say, getting a dogs attention that is chasing you. Just pop them out, and you have a attention getter.

I use the ancient trick of removing the grips and tapping (not bashing!) a large lead fishing sinker into each bar end. The excess lead will be cut off as a ring by the bar tubing when you are done.
