Default raptor anti-vibe steering stem

Who's running them and what do you have,why and what did you do with the ignition switch??? My reasons,just recovering from dual carpal tunnel release/cubits tunnel release.I ain't ready to give up riding.I'm looking for one and a machine shop to make up a custom anti-vibe mount for 2 lights and warning lights and ignition switch or some kind of bracket??

As far as the switch goes, I mounted mine on the left fender and my Neutral-Reverse-Water temp light on the top of the radiator cover piece.

A buddy of mine rides a CR500 and installed "anti-vibe inserts" into the ends of the bars. He reports they work very well ! Cant remember the mfg but I'll ask him.........

RPM makes the anti-vibe stem and you can get the bar clamp you are talking about from them also.

FLYNHIRAPTOR,

What did you finally get to solve your vibration problem? And did it work? I have the same issue and was looking at getting a barsnake. Its a big rubber thing that goes in the handle bars. Check out www.barsnake.com;
