If your bars have the threaded tabs welded in the ends of the bars, you can order the original bar end weights or look for them in the For Sale section. If you don't have the welded tabs, then you can look for just about anything, including a pair of argyle socks to stick in the ends...wha?

The heavier the better for quelling vibration. I wonder if Katana barends will fit? I know Lockhart barends will fit (in bars without tabs), but they are too light.

i have some VERY heavy bar ends...1.5kg in total...and they dampen the vibration A LOT!!...get heavier ones if you can...lights ones are useless
