Hey, Sero, are those the stock drags rotated downward, or am I totally off on that?

Not the stock ones, but might as well be...
Mine came stock with pullbacks, so these are off ebay... 32" I think...with a 3" straight riser

Hands tingling / going numb while riding
sometimes it's more pronounced than others, and it seems to be positional
I also get it in the gym sometimes, and sometimes I get it in my sleep
Thinking a different bar position might help, as I don't recal it being as bad on my rebel (buckhorns)

I find a slight downward tilt to the bars to be easier on the shoulders (I have some slight rotator cuff damage that I don't want surgery for)... once your arms are relaxed, there is automatically less tingling in the hands...
Might help you...

What are you doing to mitigate the problem?

I've lowered my volume of training, added in stretching of the forearms / fingers, and trying to limit taxing of my grip at work
My doctor seems to think it's overuse
I disagree, but what do I know, I'm just an ignorant savage

Lowes has work gloves, netting on back, leather palm with sections of gal pad overlay on main contact point. I practiced lighter and lighter grips till I could maintain a speed with an almost open hand.
Tight motor mounts and the gentlest grip and of course the bar,hand,wrist angles,,

My gloves are padded, too, and I try to grip lightly
I also release different fingered entirely, and have even turned the hand on edge on the bar (yes I can hold the throttle open with the edge of my hand
letting my arm hang for 5 seconds does the trick, I should get a throttle lock for freeway running (only happens if I hold throttle steady for a while)
I was just in Lowes the other day, buying tie downs
which I think I'll have to return
cheap crap

I’ll do that, (Thought I was the only one),
Lay my hand, ‘up & down’, Thumb up,
side meat of the palm, resting on top of the throttle,
(This is at constant speed, or very little variable)
Hand ‘relaxed’. It helps !

We've totally hijacked this thread, sorry Serow
I get this on bicycles, too, except beach cruisers with the U shaped handlebars
maybe I should look for some like that to fit a motorcycle
