#91531 kena48 (User) 07 Road Star 1700 Junior Boarder Posts: 152 I Can't Feel My Right Hand! 6 Months ago   I took my longest trip today - 2 hours 1 way. My right hand went numb at least four times. I tried unlocking elbows, releasing the death grip etc., but it kept coming back. Should I look for: Padding? A lockable throttle? ...or is it just me squeezing too tight? Advice appreciated.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #91532 Crusierbob (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 504 Re:I Can't Feel My Right Hand! 6 Months ago   ISO grips with a Throttle Boss, or one of the slip on versions. Allows you to relax your grip and let the blood flow.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #91539 silvasilv (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 436 Re:I Can't Feel My Right Hand! 6 Months ago   i got the smaller throttle boss, and id recommend getting the slightly larger one, just my two cents if you were going to pick one up   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #91547 JDKoss (User) I dunno, press the button and find out... Junior Boarder Posts: 127 Re:I Can't Feel My Right Hand! 6 Months ago   A man told me at a Yamaha dealer once that if you wear gloves, always buy them one size larger. He said that ones that fit tight will cause your hand to go to sleep. I use the kuryakyn iso grips and a crampbuster (http://www.crampbuster.com/) for longer trips and it seems to help. With this weather down here now, no gloves are needed. 95 heat index at 8:00 pm. Took the bike out for about an hour this morning, came back soaking wet from the heat and humidity.   Logged     Coming soon … My tribute to procrastination   The administrator has disabled public write access. #91549 Blackroadie (User) If it ain't broke, You ain't ridin' hard enuf !

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3070 Re:I Can't Feel My Right Hand! 5 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I have kuryakyn iso grips and 2 large throttle bosses one for each grip. I've made 465 mile rides and no cramping or numbness. You adjust them just right and the throttle can be done with the heal of you hand the other is set about the same. You can open your finger and lay them across the levers to rest and still have good control of the bike with BOTH hands. I don't trusth cruse controls and I had one and it didn't fir very well so I sold it.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #91570 Moondog (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 336 Re:I Can't Feel My Right Hand! 5 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I had the same problem on a longer trip I took a couple weeks ago. On my last bike I had a Throttlemeister Cruise Control so I could rest my right hand from time to time and I'm going to get one for this bike too. I like the looks of the Throttlemeister and most people don't know its there as it replaces the bar ends. Check them out at http://www.throttlemeister.com/   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #91579 Ole (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 570 Re:I Can't Feel My Right Hand! 5 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I've got a piece of 1/4 o.d. clear fuel line tied around my pull cable. When my hand gets sore I pull it down between the grip and the housing to hold the throttle at the speed I want. It works great and it's even adjustable. It might look goofy, but no goofier than a throttle lock IMHO.   Logged     2005 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #91581 greyphart (User) bad idea+ experience = good judgement Gold Boarder Posts: 983 Re:I Can't Feel My Right Hand! 5 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Did a 150 miler today. Right thumb, dead after first 30 miles. And that was with the Throttle Boss. Using stock grips but I think that'll change soon. Question, do counter weights work? Seen 'em advertised as add ons with certain grips. Only other option is quit riding and I don't see that happening for a LONG time.
