Comfort and Vibes

[Alphason]

Should have been test riding a Dakar today but ended up working!

Can anyone advise me on how much vibration is felt through the bars compared with the 1200GS? I ask because I sometimes suffer due to carpal tunnel syndrome even on the 1200. The 1200GSA bars seem to isolate most of the vibrations so presumably some bars are better than others?

Thanks for any helpful response

There aren't too many vibes through the bars...
... but there are plenty through the footpegs when you cruise at 80. Haven't yet had the chance to see what happens when (if!) you go 100. 'Someone I know' cruised back from Wales at 90 and didn't notice the vibrations after a bit, but they were still there.

I too suffer from the dreaded Carpal Tunnel probs and the only bike that did`nt cause me a problem was a Goldwing!
