Throttlemesiters with Renthal/Rizoma bars?

I am in the process of turning my 919 into a sport-touring bike. Things have been progressing well with a National Cycle Plexifairing GT, a beaded seat cover, some soft saddlebags and a set of Throttlemeister bar ends/cruise control. I actually got the Throttlmeisters to try and quell the vibration in the stock bars, rather than for the cruise control feature. Turns out though that the Thorottlemeisters don't really provide much relief from the buzz. I have read on this board that some riders have used Renthal/Rizoma bars to cut down on the buzz, but, I want to know if anyone out there has successfully mounted Throttlemeisters to Renthal/Rizoma handlebars?? I believe I can install the right-side ThrottleMeister onto some Renthal/Rizoma bars because the right side Throttlemeister comes with a universal sleeve that can be put down inside the handlebar to attach it. What I'm worried about is attaching the left side Throttlemeister because it does not have a corresponding sleeve, and, I don't know if the Renthal/Rizoma bars come with an internal thread (like the stock handlebars) to attach the left side Throttlemeister bar end. What sayeth the 919 faithful?

I called Throttlemeister about a year ago and at that time they said that they didn't have a set that worked with Renthals, because of the smaller interior diamter of the aluminum bars. Wouldn't hurt to go to their site and shoot them an email or call them to see if they have broadened their selection though.

if you go with Renthals, you can do what the mx'ers do... fill the bars with silicone caulking to absorb the vibes!
