I have hands that dont like to grip motorcycle grips for long periods of time, They loose feeling and numb up...as the day goes on, the time I can put my hands on the grips shortens....my hands do this mostly on the throttle side because of the tighter grip, I suppose and I have to use the throttle lock or in the case of the FJR, the cruise control, to rest my throttle hand. They do this with every bike I have owned for as long as I can remember...Gold Wind, NT700v, C10, FJR. You name it. Grip cushions help a bit. Has anyone else so afflicted tried heavy bar ends with success? http://www.hvmp.com/Honda-s/2.htm
