I'm rocking the Avon coke bottle grips. I had the Biltwell Kung-Fu grips, and they were comfortable, but only lasted a season before they started to fall apart.

 

+1 on this. Have the same grips and love them.

 

Agreed. I also have the Kung Fu grips on my bike. A lot better than stock and only $20.

 

the summer gloves say River Road, I know it was called a antique finish, my medium have a an "A" symbol sorta like an anarchy style, cant read anything, they are my oldest. & the winter pair is put up, but will go look if you need me to, & I have rode 900 + miles with some aluminum Kuryarkyn grips that had rubber in circles around & they were a little better than the previous solid aluminum but not by much. & that was on an old shovelhead chopper, a good grip & gloves will make a difference. I actually like the aluminum grips with rubber strips that float, & run from side to side all the way around, that & a gel insert glove. as a side note, 2 pair were bought from jap bike dealers catalog, my winter pair was from an online auction, for a motorcycle forum, & the widow of a stunt rider that got killed playing on the street, donated all his belongings to the forum he loved, to raise money for the forum & I was high bidder for the gloves

 

FWIW If the OP hands go numb, baring arm spine etc issues, OP states he believes it is due to his grips.

1) Don't hold on so tight.
2) Readjust handle bar angle.
3) Add a throttle boss.
4) Add gel palmed gloves.
5) Try a coke bottle shaped grip.

So many grips to choose from. Thickness, softness and shape being function. Design being form. Only the OP can choose, yet to cure his numbness he needs to look at the function portion.

 

If you have a throttle friction screw, tighten it so that the throttle stays where you set it .


you have to increase , or decrease throttle by hand ..real easy .
Now you don't have to hold against the spring constantly.
You can even pick your nose with your right hand

 

Grips don't solve all vibration problems; they can certainly help, but your handlebar is buzzing/vibrating at a specific frequency based on engine RPM. Search online for ways to reduce the vibration first, handgrips second.

 

I bought a pair of gel lined gloves for my mountain bike.
great for the Harley
about 30 bucks
Seems like the different grips I had never really solved the problem, but the gloves did

 

These grips are really good, and they're cheap, too.

I suspect your bars are the likely cause of this problem vs. grips ...
