Bar end weights - What do they do?
Probably a stupid question, but what purpose do they serve.
I can not see how that are actually heavy enough to provide any stability benefits and do not like they would protect much if you dropped the bike. |

i think they are used to counteract vibrations from the engine being transmitted through the handlebars..

Crash protection and vibration reduction. Even the standard ones are substantial enough to reduce vibrations and help save the bike. Heavier ones do even more.
Oh, and the bolt is crap, yes, but the reason for that is so that the bar end moves rather than bending the clip on. |
