Hope it passes quickly, Nemo.
Or get an automatic one.

Yeah, a bike with DCT is always an option. I use grip puppies on both of my machines and they do seem to help a bit. The ST has a heavier clutch so I notice stiffness in my left hand after a long ride.
I hope the pain goes away soon Nemo.

They will cramp yours hands within an hour.
One of the first thing I bought for my CB were Grip Puppies (slip-on foam covers) from [url=http://www.casporttouring.com/]California Sports Touring.
I am just the opposite. Small hands. Big grips cramp me up. I have Oxford heated grips on my ST and the larger diameter gets my hands hurting in about an hour and I have to let go and pump them a few times. No problem with the standard size grips. To me the larger grips are like trying to wrap my hands around rolling pins (for those old enough to remember them)

Funny, I also have small hands but prefer larger grips. The skinny grips give me hand cramps. I put grip puppies on as padding and to increase the grip diameter. This gives more leverage to twist the throttle, although one downside is that the reach to the levers is increased a bit.

Off topic, but I use a rolling pin when I'm baking , making biscuits, etc.

Nemo, I too hope that you're feeling better soon.
I don't like it when pain comes a knocking. This past year I've experienced arthritis in my fingers (which impacts my guitar playing more than my riding) and gout in my feet, neither of which have been welcomed by me. The pain from the gout would often wake me up at night but diet changes have helped. Given the nature of my work, I feel fortunate that I have not experienced any carpal tunnel symptoms (not yet anyway).

Another cause of hand cramping is tight leather gloves.
I bought a pair of snug fitting leather gauntlets.
The had a seam at the bottom of the thumb.
When I grasped the grips, the seam tightened slowing the flow of blood.
That results were cramping and cold hands.
I now wear larger deerskin gloves with no problems.
I also found in cold weather that insulated leather gloves are colder that insulated suede deerskin gloves. I don't know the science behind it, but the suede deerskin are warmer when either riding or walking.

+1. I switched to a pair of elkskin gauntlets with merino wool insulation from Aerostitch. The elkskin leather is really soft and flexible vs my leather insulated gauntlets from Revit.

Guth I can't decide which was worse...gout or kidney stone. I do believe kidney stone, but gout was no fun either.
Knock on wood, all the keyboard typing and riding I do and so far have eluded the CTS.
