I dont leave my rpms in that range. Usually I can ride all day and not have any issues. Change gears, speed up or slow down.

You can, there's no glue, kind of like a condom.
But once you try it you won't take it off, unlike a condom

The buzzing comes from the bars shaking from sympathetic vibration when the engine produces specific frequencies. Adding weight to the bars will shift those frequencies lower to a place where the engine does not produce much vibration. Some folks install fancy aluminum bar ends for looks without realizing that they are screwing up the vibration control that those heavy steel ends were meant to fix.
You can find a bolt that slides inside your bars and pack it in tight with rubber from an inner tube. Some folks use silicone caulk, but this is sort of permanent and won't let you experiment. I filled the clip ons on my Harley XLCR-clone with bird shot. It seemed to work better with the shot just a little loose instead of packed tight.
Here's a fancy, sort of high tech solution that I've wanted to try, but am too cheap. Vibranator What I like about this design is that you can adjust them to dampen out the specific band of frequencies that most bother you. Technically, I think this is a very good design.

With all of the suggestions posted above, each of them will work. One that is free that I learned to use on my GSX-R 600 that vibrates worse than, well it vibrates a lot.
Anyway, loosen your grip a bit on the bars. Don't hold on to them like you have a death grip on them. Relax, the bike will steer itself for the most part.

Okay. OMG! Soooo glad I bought these things. Thanks for the suggestions. I dont care about the feel as much as just changing the diameter of the grips is exactly what I wanted. With my alpinestar gloves I always griped cause they were a touch tight across the knuckles and I always got hand fatigue just with gripping the bars from those gloves. With the larger diameter I can grip like I want without hand fatigue
