Guys, I had to repair the heated grip on my c 14 yesterday, and in doing so I found a mod we all did to the c 14.
That bike is smoother than a ninja 1000, but at certain rpm ranges the bike did vibrate.
The mod is very easy. All we did is remove the bar end. At that point, find a lock washer that is close to the correct size. Slide it on the bolt, then put the bar end back on. The lock washer ends up between the bar end and the bar.
No idea how or why, but on that bike it really helped. I have not tried it on the ninja, but I will just as soon as I can.
