I just ordered a pair of
Hudson Valley "short" bar ends and got them installed yesterday. I gotta say I'm pretty impressed. I'll confess to mainly buying them for looks, I had the original ones on since i bought it in '98 and the black paint was starting to wear off. So yes, these look very sharp on the bike, and the quality and finish is very nice... but the added bonus was they really do reduce vibration. The XX is already so smooth I didn't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm so used to my bike after all these years that I notice the slightest difference in things, so I found myself going faster than normal on the highway this morning because the sensation in my hands I normally feel at speed wasn't there

I found this product thru this website, so I'm sure many of you have them already... but for those that don't- this is a great product
