Some of the old timers used to fill the bars with sand and cap off the ends. I havent tried it, but I could see where it would work. Might be worth a try as a cheap experiment.
Bar vibration on the new Diavel 1260
I am very close to pulling the trigger on a 2020 x Diavel S. I currently have a 2015 Monster 821. I have enjoyed this bike, but the vibration from the bars causes my hands to go numb after about 20-30 minutes of riding. I've tried several things to resolve it (loose grip on bars, bar weights, grip puppies, trying to sit more upright to relieve pressure on my hands, ect). I wondered if I could get help from all of you that have the xdiavel, do you feel a lot of vibration through the handle bars? I can deal with some vibration. I ride a KTM 300 dirt bike and do not have numbness after several hours of riding. I believe it's the high frequency buzz that happens once I get over 50 or 60mph.
I greatly appreciate your help!

Yes there is significant humming vibration on the diavel compared to the 1260s. I rode both so this is fact. Check out bar ends incase to help mitigate this.
I have no problem with vibration on the Diavel 1260. Not the X.
I did have the problem with the Multistrada 1200 dvt.

Your post doesn't make any sense. Are you saying the base 1260 vibrates more than the S version? or are you comparing gen2 vs the 1260/1260S?
sorry I couldn't edit but significant vibrations on the xdiavel compared to the Diavel 1260s
Vibrations aren't as bad as compared to my previous bike. I own a base model XD with the Termi's. Only time it bothered me was when it rained in a total 7 hour trip going with speeds ranging from 120-160km on the highway.
