I really like the progrip 699. But grips are a matter of personal preference. You could always throw some heavier bar end weights to smooth things out. Padded gloves help too.
The real problem as others have mentioned is body position. You should be very light on the bars. Use your knees to lock yourself to the tank. Hold yourself up with your abs/back (you'll get used to it over time). Something that helps a ton with this are grip pads. Personally I just went to ACE and bought some non abrasive grip pad strips for $6. I could care less how it looks when it costs $6 for 10.
The other big item is make sure your tires are perfectly balanced.
You could always go the way of bar risers should you feel the need to over time.
Another item I just put on which helps a ton is the crampbuster
Best $10 mod ever?
