VIBRANATORs have been extensively tested both on and off-road and have been proven to:
-Reduce Arm Pump
-Reduce Numbness
-Reduce Tingling
-Reduce Heart Rate
-Prevent Nerve Damage
-Improve Rider Performance
-Reduce Rider Fatigue
-Improve Mirror Vision

Amazing what you can get for 100 bucks. Think one maybe start with adjusting the balance shaft heh

Wonder if they'd help me with my bourbon consumption too ?

Specifically I'm looking for enhanced capacity ! lol

Bet you are not allowed to buy 'em if you consume baked beans !
It's prolly in that microscopic disclaimer print on the side of the box.

"Warning : using this product while consuming or having consumed baked beans

My wife has a couple of friends who have separated from their partners and they swear by their vibranators .

The only difference is that everything you say increases they say reduces and vice versa ..........are we talking about the same vibranators?


Maybe we have our wires or batteries crossed !!!!!

It seems like ergonomics do have a lot to with my probs. Managed 40km today making sure my hand to wrist was straight and noticed less numbness in throttle hand. I am now thinking about getting some genbar risers to help keep ergonomics in check, anyone tell me the cheapest place to get them?

Hey:

Find a used set of 92-97 VFR 750 bars, or for more adj 85-86 VF1000R bars, better money spent in my IMHO.

This 1 side is forsale on ebay in the States and I have seen both sides sell for around that, in the UK.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/q712-...Q5fAccessories

Thanks Carlo, I did read your input on the other thread, but I am leaning towards raising the bars to help with overall argonomics(My left shoulder is stuffed). I am thinking higher bars will help by reducing the weight on my shoulder and numbing throttle hand...will shop around and read a bit more before deciding, I may do both yet, raise and new bar weights. No real rush as being mindful of keeping my wrist to hang stright seems to help a fair bit.

Try wearing a wrist guard to help you keep it straight - it'll also take some of the strain off your wrist.

The 1000F uses 43mmtubes, doesn't it? Anyone got any ideas/suggestions for something similar for the 98F3's 41mm tubes? I've been looking for a similar solution for my baby. The heli-bars, genmar, etc. are way too much money, imo.
