Default Grip Recommendations for Carpal Tunnel

Anyone experience any Carpal Tunnel numbness when riding with apes? It's just in my right hand. I have IsoGrips, but they aren't contoured. Avon maybe or other recommendations?

Throttle boss;

Fit's on the little screws on end of the the ISO grips and is adjustable. Check ebay for knock off's that work just fine.
You just need to let go of the "death grip" you have on the throttle,, the numbness is not just apes,, it's all grips and bars when the rider is grabbing too hard all the time.

Probably a good preventive reason to get them.

A lighter touch on the grip.

I had the surgery & have the big fat Harley Classic grips on my bikes. Seems to help on long rides.

Check out Avon grips. I switched to a coke bottle shape that had a palm rest on each grip.

Wrap your grips with paracord. That will widen the diameter.
