I've been trying to find an alternative to bar end weights since they are too expensive IMO (especially for the ones that include slots for mounting bar end mirrors to). So, I've been thinking about filling my aftermarket handlebar with something to weigh it down. I opted to file down the nubs rather than drill holes, so my handlebar has no holes in it at all.
My question is this, HVMP lists their bar ends as being 14.2 oz for the heavy weights or 17.9 oz for the extra heavy weights. Is that 14.2 oz per side, or 14.2 oz for both sides (both bar ends weighed together)?
I'm just trying to get an idea so I can get some good alternatives to bar ends. I've been thinking about using BBs or fishing weights. I'm not too keen on the idea of using sand, since I think it wouldn't weigh enough and it would be messy.
Anyone have any other ideas?
