Front-end Vibration

My K100RS has had BMW-made accessory bars fitted. The riding postion is very comfortable as they are higher, however, I get a numb left hand riding at around 4,000 rpm. I'm trying to locate the original bars to see whether they make a difference although they'll be much lower.

Another thing is the low-ish speed wobble from the front-end. Is there any way to get rid of it or, at least, dampen the effect?

Thanks, Martin

Odd vibration between 50-55 mph?
It started today, I guess. It was weird. When I hit about 50-55 it started to vibrate. It got pretty bad until I let off the gas, but it also went away when I got to about 65-70. Any ideas?
