Something Old, Something New

You may not need heavier weight. All the bar vibration complaints I heard were on the early years XR. Have not heard complaints on the S1000R and S1000RR.
A friend used to do 500 mile days on his S1000RR and did not complain about bar vibration.
Only complaints I heard was the hot frame on your legs you mentioned.
Some people put carbon fiber frame covers on to insulate your legs a little from the heat.

I to have not heard odd significant complaints about vibration in these bikes, but you do have to remember that they’re not used for long rides like we do. Your friend is the exception, although some in Europe claim they go on tour with these bikes so who knows. All I know is that on my 4 hour ride on Thursday (has 3 stops) tingling was not an issue. Fatigue in the wrists were a bit more of an issue but that just means I have to use my new StompGrips tank pads more.

Good tip on the frame covers to quell the heat a little.
