Heh, yeah like I said it's weird at first because you're used to making the bike do certain things with your left hand, so when you try to do right handed stuff it's backwards.
That's funny, I didn't realize it was a Friday night... you can tell people all over the US are having less than stellar weather.

Wot your going through is from years of self abuse & its Gods way of punishing you......
Actually wot is happening is the positioning of your arms/hands on the bars, & your weight holding you in a static (nerve) position, restricting blood flow, till the nerves in your wrists cry out for mercy.

You can slightly alter your throttle, brake & clutch & seating position, so that your wrists are not bent as much, but its usually a short term fix. Gloves & better grips can help no doubt about it, Some people build up a resistance to it to, others like myself don't fair so well, one of reasons I like my F3, not such a big lean to the bars. I just stop when I start to get the numb feeling in my writs before the pain starts, only takes a couple of minutes of excercise to get the blood flowing, which is good for a couple more hours of ride time.

My hand use to do that when I first started riding...but I did change my grips and get some gloves with gel in the palms.....that might have helped, I know you can also buy heavier bar ends that people say helps with the vibration...
now quit being a ***** and ride your bike![Wink](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Do they make cruise controls for sport bikes? I had one on my V65 Magna and loved it for long trips, It was like a small clamp that sat on the inside of the throttle to hold it into position. That would give you hand a break when you started to feel the tingles instead of pulling over.
