A quick word on bar ends. You probably don't notice it, but you likely ride with your hands slightly off the end of the grip/bar end/ or whatever is on the end of your clip-on or handle bar. You should think very carefully about what you put out there. Reason is, if you low side, you may or may not have time to get your hand off the end of the grip. If you fail to get it off, you will not be the first person to do unmentionable things to their pinky finger. Just sayin'

the ones you posted look pretty good. The weighted ones, in theory should inhibit head-shake, but I'm not so sure. Mostly I think they just add unnecessary weight. If you have head-shake problems, a steering damper is your friend.
