MZ/MuZ Riders

My bike hasn't had any since I got it - some years ago, but my IOM trip has convinced me that perhaps they are not such a bad idea. So can anyone tell me apart from the MZ OEM ones does anyone have a preference and do they work?

I took the weights off of my Skorpion to see how much difference they make, and the answer is A LOT! I wouldn't like to think what it would be like riding a long distance without them.
The plastic coating on the Skorpion weights has a bad habit of peeling off and the weights then go rusty. This had happened on mine when I bought it, so I replaced them with 'universal' stainless weights from Hein Gericke. Various other suppliers (M&P, Buster's, etc) sell universal weights, so there's plenty of choice. Just make sure that you get ones for steel bars, as the ones for alloy bars suit a narrower inside diameter.
Personally I would avoid alloy or carbon fibre weights; as the purpose of 'weights' is to add weight to damp vibration, what's the point in fitting light ones?
