I figured out a solution. Turns out I have the 1983 ES handlebar (or some say the Euro bars - shorter bars than the E). So the solution? ES grips (have a hole in the end) and ES end-weights (basically a lead weight with a painted steel cap screwed in the bar with a rubber stopper that locks the weight in place at the end of the bar but past the end of the bars). I found some black painted caps in the UK (the ES had chrome) and sourced one the lead weights from Germany. Works like a charm. No more buzz between 4k-5k. Suzuki has many of the parts still in stock, and had to find the rest as new old stock.
Enjoyed the video Windy. Good information on finding and eliminating buzzy problems. I have thrown away a couple tires in my past. Not only on the bike but on my semi also. Thanks for sharing and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
Hey Windy I flew Novanta today. Still a great plane and what a great sound Thanks Len. Still flies and looks great Nice to see the bike collection still looks great too.

CONGRATS,glad the info was useful. THAT IS WHY MANY MODERN BIKES HAVE THE WEIGHTS BUILT RIGHT IN FROM THE FACTORY.

ALWAYS SOUNDED GREAT TO ME TOO.
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP OLD BIKES AND OLD GEEZERS GOING THRU THE GEARS.
Handlebar bushings, weights, solid pipe insert, dimes, or silicone.
MY TOYOTA HAD A BAD TIRE TOO,seems tires are like all of us just not perfect?
AT MY AGE ANY BUZZING IS GOOD.
Make sure your handlebar are buzzing and not your hands😅
