does any one else have a problem whith there hands stinging after about 15 minutes of riding. or is this just the nature of the beast. Is there any after market absorbers.some one at work mentioned a snake that is lead pellets that go in the handle bars.any help would be appreciated.

 

I have the same problem from time to time. Most if it is because all your upper body weight is on the palms of your hands and circulation is slowly be cut off. I try to use my abs to support my upper body more and I also have been looking at gloves with more padding in the palms.

 

I get the same problem here and there as well. I have arthritis in my fingers, so that doesn't help. Triax is right about the weight issue though. It is easy to lose circulation in your hands. Extra padding helps me though. The grips I have are not very forgiving.

yea mine sting like crazy to i bought some pro grip gels grips and some taramac 2.0v icon gloves and it helps out a ton!

 

gel grips/gloves help but the main thing is to relax your grip and bring elbows in a bit ... if it's stinging as quick as 15 min's, you need to let go of the death grip.

 

i have the same problem..stings like after 30 mins. its stinging as quick as 5 mins if i ride with one hand on the freeways.

 

Hands Stinging nothing ... My hand goes Numb.[sm=boohoo.gif].. and I dont use a death grip either.

 

I had the same problem i solved it by buying the corbin seat that lowers you down a couple of inches and used throttle lock made by vista cruise.

 

The best thing i found is eather heli-bars or cycle cat both of these companys make bars that shift you weight back and off of your hands. The race's will say that they sit you up more and make it harder to tuck for speed but i would rather have the extra comfort and they don't look bad if you didn't know a 929 in and out you might think they were stock. Now the bad news they are expenceive but worth it if you like to cruse all day! Just my 2cents but yes better gloves and softer grips should help don't know about the seat mine had a corban on it when i bought it and never rode 1 without it.

Good luck!

 

lol, i get the same thing. but its mostly do to the fact that right now there is only a grip on the throttle side, i had tore the other one off to replace it and never got around to it i guess, haha.
