Definately Carpol Tunnel. Surgery will fix it.

One thing that I used to do before surgery was to extend one finger from my grip and let it stretch out and ride on the brake lever. That seemed to relieve the nerves.

Another thing I would do is hold the throttle with a grip more like holding a baseball bat. More with the fingers and not the palm. Like you would imagine an ape or chimp would hold the throttle. That would move the nerves in the wrist to a different position.

I've seen a doctor for CT and as far as I know, there aren't any issues. Although, I was seen in February, before I bought the bike so I guess there is a chance but it seems so slim.

I really think its a vibration issue and am gonna look seriously into the lead shot idea.

I have arthritis in my hands. Isogrips helped a lot.

I also filled the bars with lead shot. I figure about 12 lb worth to fill the drag bars. Lowered the resonant frequency of the vibration to where it doesn't bother me at all at 30mph or more.

On re-reading my post I forgot to mention that you can't put lead shot in the stock drag bars.(I don't know about the buckhorns) because they have steel weights welded into them and there would be no way to get it in except e few at a time through the "dimple" holes. Take a while.
