Let's talk about handle bars
I bought the TAG T-2 bars and mount for my Raptor. I love em, but they vibrate pretty bad. I only notice it when I'm riding flat out, but I know that even if I don't notice it, they're still vibrating and that leads to fatigue. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you correct it.

Eventually I will get a new stem and that should fix it, but I was looking for a short term solution. The silicone thing sounds good, but it sounds like a one time take it or leave it solution. Has anyone tried the things you stick in the end of the bars. Anti vibration incerts I think they're called.

I wish I knew that about the inserts, I bought my bike used and the bars had a slight bend in them. I bought a couple sets of cheap steele bars because I knew I would be hard on them going through the learning curve. Now I have the fat bars and I like them a lot. I want to put my hand guards on them but I need fat bar adapters. I wonder if that will take some of the vibration out.

I had the same problem. After I put a big bore kit in my R, my hands would cramp up when riding WFO. I couldn't take it anymore so I bought a lonestar anti-vibe stem and some protaper (fatbars) handlebars.
I could honestly say it made a world of difference, after 6 hours I am still fresh where before my hand were so cramped I could not hold on anymore after about 2-3 hours.
If you keep the rubber bushing nuts fairly loose on the stem, you get a wonderful damping effect, rubbery like. It really isolates the vibration and look kick azz.
I really regret not doing it sooner, I have developed a serious case of tendonitis because of it and now live with the pain everyday.
