As Jack says, go steady with any industrial jet cleaners & chemicals coz they can take paint of tank & frame quite easily :shock:

Those 'bar end weights' are designed to alter the resonation frequency, which changes the amplitude at which the harmonics build up & cause vibration. :?
Try adding weight in the handle bar ends (lead sheet or similar) and this should stop it :wink:
