This type of vibration damper has been around for a long time. My thoughts have always been that if the vibrations are unbearable, putting one of these in your handle bars might just be masking a problem with your bike. I would rather find the source of the vibration(s) and fix it.
I have the same problem sometimes but it usually takes longer than a 45 minute ride and only when I'm wearing a t-shirt. Believe it or not, it's the hair on my arms that causes that feeling.

They are just above shoulder level. But I've had sporty 95 and 00 duece with ape above my shoulder and never had the crawling bug feeling so bad. I thought maybe it cause the springer riser are hard mounted with no bushing.

It's the vibration the fast vibes make your hands tingle fast. I could go 10 minutes with my low bars on my bike with Stock risers. With the apes and the lead on the ends my hands don't fall asleep or tingle ever. The lead kills that fast vibe you're having the problem with. Try it you'll thank me. I was ready to sell my bike couldn't take it anymore and couldn't cure the issue. This made it manageable.

I put it down to old age etc. but after being annoyed enough to have to do something about it i bought a pair of driving gloves . They helped greatly .
I would suggest the bar weights and the driving gloves would make your "buzz" a lot easier to live with .
