I ride a 2005 S40 and just re-installed mine from off my old bike, as I also get numbing in my right hand (carpel tunnel, my reward for drumming for 30 years). It really helps, especially because I can relax my grip a lot more. I didn't find it got in the way of in-town rides but it's easy enough to slip on/off, and I'm really excited to have it for our trip through the White Mountains in a few days!

Actually, Joss, I used JOG's advice and use an open hand to throttle up and down. It pretty much took care of my problem. I still find my hand getting slightly numb occasionally but then I realize that I'm gripping it too tightly and just try to relax that hand again. Within a few minutes, the numbing sensation goes away.
I guess I was more nervous riding than I realized. (It's been 8-9 years since I'd last ridden on a regular basis) :'(
