Handlebar weights or bar end weights?

Hi, what do you call these weights in English? In German, they are called ‘Lenkergewicht’ or ‘Lenkerendgewicht’ and they are used to reduce vibrations of the handlebar of a motorcycle. Interestingly enough, so far there is a Wikipedia entry on handlebar weights in German but not in any other language. Seems, the Germans are more fond of technical topics and mechanical questions than other nations.

According to Ms Google, the terms ‘handlebar weights’ and ‘bar end weights’ seem to used.

I’m no longer a rider, but I found this item on the US Amazon page:
“Kuryakyn 6339 Motorcycle Handlebar Accessory: Hand Grip End Cap Weight, Gloss Black, 1 Pair“
The weight appears to be 14.9 ounces for the pair (possibly shipping weight)
Another term is “Handlebar Grips Plugs”, but often with very low weight.

I really like this term: Hand grip cap weight because it comes very close the German ‘Lenkerendgewicht’. Thanks a lot sharing it.
