Handlebar Risers

I have a crook shoulder and found my hands would go numb after about 20k`s(my CBR is not the smoothest running example around due to engine mods).
I have found since installing Genmar risers and Vibranator tuned handlebar dampers/weights that my problems all but disappeared.
One more trick/advice that I got off here is to squeeze the tank with your knees more to take pressure off wrists, all these things together let me keep enjoying a ride instead of enduring a ride.

Also I almost always wear leathers and the other day when I wore jeans for a short test ride, I found they were too slippery to grip the tank, putting all my weight on my wrists.
If you normally wear jeans to ride, maybe gripper pads on the sides of the tank would also help?

I have tried gripping the tank. I don't have major problems when in the twisties and fun stuff , more the boring straight cruise stuff I have for an hour in any direction.
My hand hurt even holding the steering wheel for an hour in the car .
I'll get there with these motocross bars for sure .
( and maybe a spoonfull of concrete

No chance of a test run for a week or so.
But I'm really happy with the outcome just sitting on it . My workmanship however leaves a lot to be desired.
Previous owner had put the bike down at some stage. Bent brackets everywhere, a real PITA to get all the body work back together.
I may still have to extend some wiring and possibly get new throttle cables made .
But seems workable atm .

I'm looking forward to putting more miles on this bike . Checking the log book for when I did the cam chain and tensioner, I've only done 1700kms in nearly 3 years.
I have had other bikes I've ridden in that time , but it's been the pain involved riding the CBR that has slowed the amount of time I spend on it . Hopefully this will fix that situation . Then all I have to worry about is keeping my license.
