just gripping the bars a little easier can help a lot. no need to white knuckle at all, just a loose grip.

Yep, loose grip helps alot. So does decreasing vibration. Check engine mounts and all front end bolts, etc.

Something you can do to make yourself lighten up on the death grip is to rest 2 fingers on the brake lever. This makes it impossible to grip it too hard. You don't have to do that all the time, but even a few minutes gives your hand a rest and makes you aware if you are holding on too tight.
Could also be that your bars could be rotated to a different position so you don't feel you have to hang on to them like that.

All these suggestions are good ones. if you are still interested in grips the new " get a grip" grip set from HD is really comfortable. they are about 75 bucks though. the good news is a good vintage style set of rubber grips are available for much cheaper if cash is a problem.

How are you liking the Mustang vint wide?
Any comments from passengers on comfort?
I am looking to get one of these but they sure are spendy just to try it out. (No dealers near me)

Makes me hesitant.
Thanks

here is the best and cheapest solution- I added a under 10 dollar gadget from ebay (look under dyna parts?) it clips on the grip and the heel of your hand rests in the cup taking all pressure from your fingers- LOVE IT- wish I knew the name- maybe someone else knows--

Am looking at the 430's for my bike, do you like them?

Also, have you shimmed your front motor mount? This helped the tingling I used to get somewhat.
