I've now loaded up the bars with weights, about 5oz a side, which has improved things, however I was thinking of "sponge" grips next, like we used to fit in the 80's.

I tried not holding on to the bars so tightly, but when I opened her up, it felt like two bouncers where trying to pull me off the back of the bike, so I had to hold on tight again ;-)

Not entirely connected to the vibration but more to the "ergonomics".....
The stock lever position means that your hands are tipped up, from your wrists. his places a lot of strain on yor wrists etc.
Try tipping the levers down so that whilst sat on the bike, with your palms flat on top of the grips, your fingers are in line with your arms and resting on the top edge of the levers. This usually means tipping the levers down about 10-15mm.
To do it, you need to remove the levers and remove or cut off the roll pin that fixes the lever postion.

It made my bike and a few customers bikes a lot more comfortable

These work well for me:
