[QUOTE="HyperPete, post: 1306545, member: 88962"] Thank you for your replies! I have done the following: [LIST][*]Grip puppies. Much more comfortable than the steel-pipe hardened OEM rubber grips. [*]Focusing on using a relaxed riding position, specifically, relaxing my hands. When I'm at cruising speed on an open road, I often will rest both of my lower wrists - the part where my wrist and palm meet - on the grips and drape my fingers over the brake and clutch levers. Riding along like that for a few minutes gives the fingers and hands a nice break. [/LIST] I've been wanting to purchase a Synch tool for my VMax anyway, this is more fuel for that fire. I missed a used Carbtune Pro by 10 minutes the other day. > :( I'll see if I can adjust the bars, and I'll try the loosening and re-torquing of the motor mount bolts. I'm very hopeful that these will help. I'm glad for the feedback on the Vibranators - that just seemed outrageous money for what they are. I'll try the HVMP bar-end weights instead. I won't get to try the adjustments until next week, unfortunately, but I will come back and update this thread after doing so! [/QUOTE]
