Grips

[Xena]

Hi all,

I'm on my 2nd GS and my 4th boxer in all. I've therefore got used to the loss of feeling in my hands after about and hour and a half....!

However, with the advancing years I'd like to try and avoid the numb pain this year... With the exception of turning on the heated grips has anyone got any advice what I can do to avoid the "pins and needles" this year ?

Many thanks.....

Martin

I found driving with one hand works..

Are you getting it in both hands or just one?
Have you been tested fo carpal tunnel .I was on this site earlier this year got grip puppies etc ( very good ) but it boiled down to carpal tunnel right hand. Got the proceedures done and haven't looked back , went from Cornwall to fleetwood in one hit not a problem with the fingers or the tingling I've never looked back
Hope this helps

I have always run with a throttle friction screw. Means you have to manually close the throttle but you can relax your grip when you want to.
