Well, after all the frustration last night installing my new gear, I was able to ride today and test the new mods and here are the result...

Handle bars:

Very good looking, it adds character to the bike!
New feeling when riding the bike, exciting!
It takes a little getting used to this bars, they are abit ackward in shape.

The new drag bars feel as if they are shorter then the stock beach bars.
As a result, low speed manufer suffers a bit due to the new handle bars.

Even though the seller claims some extra pull back, I actually find myself leaning forward to reach the bars... Works great since it changes my position with reguard to the painfull seat.

Vibration is hurrible, now the stock mirrors are useless and I get num thumb and disconfort on my hands.

In a nut shell, do not buy these bars, just a waste of money!
Instead try adjusting the stock beach bars first.

Second:

Hard case saddle back also from ebay

Braket kit which cost $29 extra does not includes extra long bolts so I had to spend another $10 in bolts at lowel...

The cases are cheap looking and make the bike look cheap too.
They are very small in case you are looking for huge storage...
Braket is too wide and the bags stick out too much...
They scratch very easy.

In a nut shell, both of these are just a waste of money and I do not recommend neither... The bars are good quality built, but they introduce unnecessary fatigue to your hands... The bags are cheaply made, expensive and does not come with everything needed for instalation.

Do not waste your Money and save up for good quality parts that would be better in the end....

Be patience....

Hopefully you can see these pictures, bike is looking good....

The stock handlebars have weighted END caps to reduce the pendulum effect for vibration. IF you were to remove them, the vibrations would be pretty bad on the stockers too.
 
So what I can I do to fix the vibration on the drag bars?

I am still using the stock bar ends with the drag bars, everything that was on the stockers is now installed on the drag bars...

Where did I go wrong, I am wondering if I did not installed correctly, but it was a simple swap...

At are my options to try to save these drag bars and correct the vibration issue...
 
Did your new handlebars have built-in risers? Most drag bars do. IF you removed the stock handlebar risers, did you remove the rubber washer that sits between the risers and the upper triple tree? If so, bolting straight to the triple tree with nothing to dampen vibration might be the problem. Just a thought.
