I have found that whenever I used kuryakyn grips I always had to have a cramp buster for my palm cause their grips are so big. I started using arlen ness fusion rubber knurled grips which are smaller and my hands never cramp up now

I now have Avons with throttle assist that help a lot. But the most important thing for me I found out was changing my hand position and easing the hand pressure I apply on the grips.

I use a steering wheel cover in my truck. (suggestion of chiropractor) I used to grip the wheel hard not realizing it. With the cover I am more relaxed. I used to run a narrow grip on my bike. And I would do the same thing. Now I use Avon grips and I am more relaxed. It is like a gun. You don't need to squeeze the hell out of it.
I used to have smaller apes on my Street Glide. Now I have a Slim The more I look at these pics and think about it, the more I want small apes again. I am a little guy so I am thinking some smaller Carlinis.

that's why i'm thinking about the 17 evil's and using dyna stock risers which are only 1 3/4 high. i'm 6'1 and i don't want them to high on my FB Lo. Sat on a fb lo last week at a dealer with 16's and a 3 1/2 riser and that was'nt bad but a bit lower would of been fine.
