Default Does anyone use Barsnake?

Hi, Do any of you guys have any experience of this product?
Did it make a diifference?
Did you use the solid or liquid type?
I'm looking at a possible install on my 09 Heritage to cure my vibration problem which is really spoiling my riding experience!
any feedback would be much appreciated!

I have a friend that uses Vibranators. He said it helped eliminate the tingling and numbness in his hands. Different grips may help also.

I have one in my softail, and didn't notice a lot. I have been told that you can get a regular garden hose and put it in your handlebar and it will be just about as effective.

have not used the bar snake but i had to deliver a 99 1200 sportster to denver from chicago last fall and i filled the drag bars with sand and it made a very big difference. it stopped most of the vibration at high speeds.I got the idea from looking at the adds for the bar snake
