Hands tingle after about an hour
My fingers on my right hand start to get the tingles and go numb after about an hour of riding. I don't know why, Changed grips and this was no help. Any ideas...

I experince the same thing, generally on the last three fingers including the pinkie.
I've had it through different gloves, grips, stock handle bars or the current apes. Watch how tight you grip the throttle. I use cruise control to give me the abillity to move my hand around and stretch out.

I've noticed that my hands will do the same thing if I keep pressure on the "meaty" part of my palm. There are a lot nerves that go through that area of the hand, and if I release pressure on that area of my palm, the tingle starts going away, and if I make a point of not riding with pressure on that area, I don't get the tingle or the numbness.
I never got this on other bikes either, but notice that the handle bar on my ultra is shaped in just the right manner to put more pressure that area of the palm.
Not saying this is what's going on... but worth a try.!!

Try a throttle rocker type accessory.
You might take a look at the HD "nostalgic" type grips. They are "bottle-shaped" of [relatively] pliant rubber. The shape conforms to the natural shape your hand makes when your fingers are curved....
But try the rocker attachment first.
