I vote for the poor circumcision, so while you are resting your hand, oh never mind. Anyway I went to get a cruise on my street glide for the same problem and found the limited had one already. It does help alot but also happens in pucker situations and when i drink alot the night before. APARRENTLY THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR OLD PEEPS AND MAKES YOUR BLOOD FLOW POORLY. Sorry for the cap lock but goes to show that I might have poor circulation tommorow. Anyway I have carpel and pucker too much and this and that so somedays are worse than others. Have found not to grip thighter than you would other parts and a cruise is good. Peace, Davis

numb hand
Try this simple fix
go to sporting good store, got mine at walmart
get a pair of easton batting gloves anti vibration type cost about $20.
this has worked out quite a bit of the numbness. If it don't you are out only the $ 20.
probably cheaper the farther from illinois you get
good luck

a good PT is better than a doctor sometimes
I am impressed with a good PT. My problems are from a bad neck which is fusing itself over the years due to worn out links. The best thing to relieve my symptoms is traction. I have a harness contraption that pulls up my head and gives me relief. It uses pullies and about 25lbs. of weight and hooks up with a door in the house.

I totally know what he meant (probably one of those auto spell-checkers), but that was friggin' hilarious. Glad I didn't have a mouth full of coffee.

I had the same problem for 20 years and finally went to a (hand) dr who confirmed I had carpel tunnel. 2 surgeries later it is no longer an issue. go to a dr and see if you have carpel tunnel or not. if you do only have a skilled dr do the repair. both my hands were fixed over the winter.

When riding my right hand (especially my right thumb) gets numb. This is true if I'm using cruise or not when my hands are on the bars. I thought that maybe I was holding the grip too tightly, but that cannot be the case if it's happening when the cruise is on and I'm barely holding the grip.
Does anyone have any ideas? Would higher bars help this out?
Thanks,
