Seriously- put down the wrench and step away from the bike.

Just the reply I was hoping to get!

I really think that chasing the buzzing bars had me going down some voodoo rabbit holes. About 30 minutes or so on the bike and my finger tips have been going numb. I'm betting that returning to the factory bar weight setup instead of no weights and bar end mirrors will help if not almost eliminate the problem.

Thanks for keeping me sane dubs Beer


Normal even with the weights. Many guys have put grip puppies on to help.

I had them for a while but then took them back off and just focus on having a loose grip and that makes all the difference in the world.

At this point I'll give anything a try. Ordered up a set. At first I thought it was my new and tight joe rocket gloves breaking in. I swapped to my well broken in MX gloves and focused on having a loose grip. Still had some numbness but not AS bad so I think it'll just take time more then anything.

I never had this happen with any of my thumper bikes even after hours of straight riding. I'm thinking the seating position of the CB puts more pressure on my hands then the others but either way we'll get there. Thanks for the input dubs! NGL I was a bit disappointed thinking I wouldn't be able to use the CB for any touring like I had planned.
