don't. same result as troll. seems like any weight at the bars would reduce vibs. I now have IronClad brand of impact gloves seems to help me as much as anything else I have tried.

Ok this my cure my right hand numbness too.....
GreenBarn I have not felt nor noticed the vibrations on mine but my right hand does go numb after about an hour or so but not enough to panic or worry about, within seconds of stopping the numbness is gone. When I wear my neoprene gloves there is no numbness, so perhaps a padded palm on the glove is the answer.

- June 16, 2013, 19:28:08 PMI had the surgery to repair my bilateral carpal tunnel in '07.....my advice is to live with it... wear a brace, adjust your handlebar angle so your wrist is straighter..get a throttle boss....6 years and I'm still waiting for the miracle cure...my hands now tingle all the time, the scar area is so sensitive I can't do push ups any more, and my grip strength is down to under 30 psi from 160.....and then there is the dropping things all the time.

- June 16, 2013, 19:20:28 PMHmm, do you have much handlebar vibration?? I hadn't noticed much on mine, but maybe it does have a bit and I didn't notice.
I've never seen the weights, but by all means give us a report if you try them! I'd be willing to spend $32 if it would lesson my hand-numbing issues. I have carpal tunnel, and it's worse in the throttle hand.... sucks getting old...

- June 16, 2013, 16:19:08 PMBefore I spend $32 of my moldy money...do those grip weights really make a difference? I'm looking at the Kuryakyn weights for the ends of my ISO grips specifically. They claim to cut down on handlebar vibration significantly.
