On the way home the other day one of the handle bar weights fell off somewhere...Doh.
Is it still safe to ride on urban streets ?

Yes but get it put right asap they do lots of things but main one I think is anti vibration though the bars which will cause hand and wrist pain and dead fingers

Yep, quite safe, but you'll notice the vibration more. Plenty available aftermarket, either in your local dealer/accessory shop or online, like here:

Dont replace with lightweight racey ones. There heavy to absorb the vibrations.

A spot of loctite on the threads will help them stay with you, and all the anti vibe comments apply..
