Any advice here on how to flat out eliminate handlebar vibration and buzzing?

There is a severe handlebar buzzing - on the right/throttle side - all normal highway speeds at ~4k rpm. Of course, the mirrors look like they're going to rattle off.

Goal is to completely eliminate buzzing and vibration. While I know Harley-touring-esq handlebar smoothness is a tall order, but that's the target.

I'm sure buckshots in the handlebar and extra bar-end weights will not fix. Will a rubber strip (cut from an old inner-tube) placed in the handlebar mounts suffice?

Anything work for you? Thank you.
 
Did you spend a some time reading and try a search? Pretty sure it's well covered on this site.
Stock exhaust and fueling? I can make it almost vibration free if you replace(d) the stock muffler, and/or fix the fueling via my flash tool.
 
In addition to what Todd has said above, Vibration is usually an indication the throttle bodies need to be balanced. The only screw that should be touched is the linkage balancing screw. After the balance the TPS must be reset using software. See the Breva 1100 General Service Manual in the downloads section. The procedure is the same for all the CARC bikes, just the TPS value may differ for different models.

There is only one solution that will achieve that for you. Turn the key off and leave it there. You have big chunks of reciprocating metal there - it WILL vibrate! Even Todd only offers to "... make it almost vibration free ...".
