You could try a Bar Snake - might be of some use?

Expensive!!!!!

Fill the bars full of sand or mastick/silicon and plug the bar ends back in.

Looks like they only work with handlebars, so I can't see them working with with clip-ons.

Thanks!

Question: How does using a Bar Snake compare to filling the bars with silicone?

Answer: Using silicone a squeeze tube will help a small amount at certain RPMs but will make it worse at others because silicone has no damping properties except for its weight and mass. Think of the vibration-dampening as being like a pound of steel compared to a pound of wood. They both have the same mass and weight, but the wood dampens the vibrations much more. So too would the Bar Snake material dampening much more than silicon.

So i have emailed them for a product for clip ons.

Will also try sand if I can find some clean stuff - at least that's removeable unlike silicon
