For what it's worth, I have done the opposite of the common wisdom. I added the rubber mounted risers, added grip puppies and removed the bar weights. My vibration issues are minimal. The vibration issue is a resonance issue. It is going to depend on how your bike is set up. The addition of a phone mount or how tight bolts are torqued can have some effect. I don't think that there's one solution. I would recommend isolating the vibration, then start adding or removing the mass at the end of the bars. Consider retorquing some fasteners.

That's a good question. The risers came as extra parts from the seller. Here are some pictures. Maybe you can tell me. There's a script "R" ingraved on the outer side. I just put them on to raise the bars and then found out that they significantly reduced the vibration.
