Gloves
I have tried several types of gloves, and can't seem to find a pair that dosen't cause my hands to cramp after an hour of so of twisting the throttle. When I ride in the summer, so problems, I don't normally wear gloves in the summer(unless fingerless mesh). Any suggestions as to what is causing my pain. I rode 3 hrs today and when I got home, my hands hurt to the point that I was miserable. Have tried tight fitting and loose..so not sure what the problem is..

Try the gloves in the summer and see what happens. Of course, that's a long time away.
Are all factors equal between the summer and now, gloveless and gloved? Is this a recent problem, or does it happen every winter? Keep in mind too that your muscles are affected by the cold weather. I find I stiffen up much more quickly in cold weather riding.

I'm guessing that you are squeezing tighter because you feel like the glows are slipping on the grips.

Try to find a pair where your fingers are not jammed into the tips of the glove when holding the throttle...works for me.

The gloves you have tried: Are they actual motorcycle gloves? Most gloves made for riding are made with a natural curve. Therefor there is no effort to keep them in grip position. It also means less bunching of leather between your hand and the grip. Even better, good ones have a gel in the palm to help with vibration.
If that's not it I'm stumped.
