I'm thinking the FZ is back at the top of my short list. Thanks again for the input. It's helped alot. Who knows I may end up with one of those new owners posts.
I've had the following bikes in no particular order and I've never had vibes that have prevented riding. the cruisers had a low rpm vibration, and I don't remember any vibration for the Kawi bikes.
Kawi Versys - twin
Kawi ZZR1200 - I4
Yam Vstar
Yam Virago 1100
I'm still trying to sort out the FZ8 vibration at 5K. I have just gotten my vibranators, and if that doesn't work I'm going with Renthals, or maybe Renthals with the vibranators, but that would require to get new rubber inserts since the Renthals have a different inner diameter.
I'll post my impressions soon, I was away from my bike all summer
I never had vibes during break in because I never rode in the rpm ranges and the point of the break in is to vary the rpms, right?
With all that said, I'm still not willing to give up on it, because I like the bike too much!
This is the first time I've heard of Vibranators. They look interesting. I didn't see FZ8 listed. I'm assuming the FZ1 set fits the FZ8. I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions.
I'm even closer to purchase now. Talking turkey stage.

Its taken you 5 + days to decide on a purchase? Whats wrong with you! If you have broken the salesmans balls for all that time you should be paying full retail.
Mine was purchased in about 5 minutes!
the Vibranators really didn't kill the buzz for me, and they won't fit in the Renthal bars because the Renthals have some orange insert in there.
The Renthals are nice, but both my hands were still stinging.
It looks like I'll be selling my bike and parts. I'll have to try something different, unless I've developed carpal tunnel or something.
