Thanks anrkizm , never thought of anything like that .. After I start riding about 20 -30 miles I start getting numb hands and fingers and constantly letting off the throttle and flexing etc etc .. I stop for a hour get back on , 5 miles later same issue .. so I am just looking for any other kind of support to help

Throttlemeister cruise control works for me.

I use a $25 Vista Cruise. It works great.

Go for thinnest firm grips. Thicker padded ones are for known problems.

Really concentrate on relaxing hands. Let your fingers just hang there. Every once in a while, wiggle them.

On longer rides, start with your hand further over the throttle so when it's in the normal position, it's the same angle as the other hand.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions e veryone I really appreciate it !

Has anyone heard anything about any kind of gel grips ?

Why thinner grips over thicker ? I think thats my problem the grips are so thin ( stock stuff)

I use these: ASB Thick Gel Grips

Why thinner grips over thicker ?

I like thick grips because I have big hands.
