Pulled off end weights today ..amazing difference
I've read all the posts on the suspension and there were several posts recommending removal of the bar weights. There have been a few times where bar vibrations have almost threw my hands off the grips. A bumpy road was almost unbearable and if my fingers were on the brake, or clutch handles it was very painful. As one member described it as grabbing a ringing tuning fork. Went for a ride without the weights today and this problem is GONE. Travelled on all the roads where it happened prior and experienced no annoying slapping from the bars. Thrilled this works, thanks to all you mentioned this.
As to you question, I used battery operated, clutch chuck drill with the 4.5 mm hex head bit to back out the bolts. Pushed a pointed tool similar to a dentist pick between the spring clip and the bar to create a gap to insert a jewelers screwdriver. Used the screwdriver to reach and separate the spring barb. Then needle nose pliers to work both sides of the clip out about 1/8". Using the weights as a slide impact they came right out. Hopefully the pictures will help if you end up doing this.
Most of the weight is at the ends though, I may have not had to remove the guts to stop the problem but now I have almost an endless selection of custom bar ends
