This is just my solution, if deemed worthy, please use.
Go to Wal-Mart or wherever and get a cheap cooking pot from housewares,
modeling clay from arts and crafts, a metal funnel from automotive and lead
stock from sporting goods. Remove handlebars from bike and put some clay in
one end of the bar, if stock bars, put it in the clutch side with a little
bit of clay also put into the hole used for the control assemblys
allignment. Melt the lead, in the pot, on your kitchen stove. Pour the
molten lead into bars using the funnel. Let cool, remove clay, clean up
bars if needed, reassemble bike. Depending on your grips and how they are
attached, you may not even need to remove them for this. The bars are now
full of a very dense material that will not come lose or fall out. Later.
