Along with it being mental, I think this where my problem was. I was just constantly squeezing the grips to hard when I didn't have to. So I'll keep resting the thumb on top on the highway, and of course around town and in traffic I will use my whole hand around the grip in case I need to react suddenly.

TwiZted Biker, you're right in that some work days are more stressful than others, and my subconscious was probably reacting to it, and without me realizing it, was causing me to grip too tightly. Thanks for the tip.

Dickey, the ISO grips are very comfortable as you said, but I may try a smaller diameter grip. Maybe PM Renthals? Do you or anybody have any else have any experience with these grips?

I am probably making too much out of this, but it was bugging me so I threw it out here on the forum. And you all sure came through! Thanks again.
