Has anyone experienced excessive clip-on vibration due to engine vibration? If yes, how do you dampen it? My hand gets sore after 40 Min's. (I hope you don't think I'm a *****!)

@robbskittles - What would a speedohealer have to do with clip-on vibrations?

@Brooklyn- where did you purchase the heavey weights?

Get some gel-padded gloves. Olympia makes different kinds and they work great for me.

I have a 2006 CBR1000RR, and I wear A stars GP plus gloves. the clip-ons are stock so are the grips. Still have my HESD on. No gearing, so no speedohealer.I used to ride my 96 F3 with no problems.... I know its engine vibration because at speed, I engage the clutch and the vibration leaves the handle bars.

I have the same bike and had the same problem for the first few months that I had the bike. For me it was mostly the throttle hand. I noticed that if I loosen up my grip I don't get the numb hands anymore. I also thought about buying the weighted bar ends from these guys. http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore...p?idproduct=43 But since I don't have a death grip on the bike anymore, I can ride most the day without any issues.
