Hands Falling Asleep
Anyone have any suggestions to help with my right hand becoming numb and falling asleep when riding? I have changed my grips on my 14 Streetglide Special and I haven't had much luck. I was considering changing bars but I don't want to invest in them if they won't help. Suggestions?

I just ordered this for my dad's bike that doesn't have cruise. Haven't tried it yet, but it should help.

i put harleys road king CVO bars on....right hand would go numb in 15 min......never had this happen before had plenty of bikes....probably a bad wrist angle for you switch bars...try to find a bike to test ride that has different bars that you like...i did... your hand should not go numb... period....its not grips its not throttle relief products...

i had a 1997 sportster and with the vibration my hands would go numb within 15 minutes of a ride, it was awful. Never had a bike since that did that, had the stock bars on it i figured it was because it wasnt rubber mounted.

+1 for bad wrist angle. I'm experiencing that on my RGS with stock bars. I can find higher bars, shorter bars, apes, blah blah blah, but no bars that are the same height that just turn the grips slightly more outward. I get a lot of pressure on the smaller part of my palm on the pinkie side. I'll find them. I know it.
