Sleepy hands

I know there are countless threads on this but I can't seem to remedy it. My throttle hand (only) goes to sleep regardless of my grip, position, squeezing legs more on tank etc. etc. etc. I thought of getting one of those cheap cruise control levers just so I could shake out my hand once in a while. Any suggestions, other than those mentioned?

try lead slugs on the bars too. it might help reduce vibration.

I got a little relief from installing these "grip puppies".
Just some durable foam type covers that slip over your grips.
They increase the diameter of the grip and made things a little more comfortable for me.
Give it a try...for less than $10 (if I remember correctly) you could always just take them off if they don't do it for you.
Don't remember where I got them though...was online somewhere!

I always use my vista cruise, that way you can open your hand. Also oakley 3 grips. Not easy to find & pricey but worth it.

Had on for about 5 years now, no deterioration. They still look the same.

Bunched jacket fabric under the arm caused mine, was pinching a nerve trace. Fix was free, wore a different jacket.
