I've just ordered some vibrocore bars because the nerves are not up to the task when it comes to longer descents like cascades. Beeb swears by them, I guess I'll find out soon enough how much help a $150 handlebar is.

Hope they alleviate some of the problem for you Plank. It's not like you suddenly have this riding on a cloud sensation, they're still an alloy bar - but the harsh buzz over chatter is mostly eliminated (IMO).

It's worth a shot. If nothing else, they'll look all shiny and new
I think half the problem is covering the brakes while descending, but I'll be farked if I'm letting go of the coward levers

Felix has a set on the new bike.....but seeing they went on the same time as the new lyrik ultimate 2.1’s, his fawning over the smoothness of the new bike is impossible to credit to any one thing. @Boom King also swears by them. I plan my next set to be some, as I also suffer a bit more in my older age.

Does the bar diameter matter? Like 31.8 vs 35 -all my bikes are 35 now and was thinking of trying some too

35mm bars are typically a little stiffer (or a lot, depending on the bars...).
It still makes me laugh that "the industry" told us we need 35mm bars because more stiffness, but then spend all their time trying to engineer 35mm bars that ride more like decently compliant 31.8mm. Simple fact is, moto looks sell more bikes than components that actually work well.
It all feels very "Handlebar Boost 35x800 because 11.5% more stiffness and 3.3 grams weight savings!" to me.
Sigh - I'm not old enough to be this jaded (and I'm just going to keep telling myself that... lol)

I love a thread de-rail and hijack as much as the next person 
what were those fancy $100 grips that peeps were running a year or two ago, would they make a difference too?

Good quality handle grips definitely conceal some of the fork chatter.

I use oury grips and find less chatter but still get some pressure numbness if I forget to take hands off and move them every so often
