Both hands goes numb after riding for an hour or so

[17-CB-002]

Had this "hand numbness" problem after long rides of an hour or more. I guess the engine vibration/buzz were causing the numbness.

Since I could not go to the root cause (redesigning the engine for less vibration) of the problem, I reinforced the handle bar (path of engine vibration transmission) rigidness by installing a crossbar across the handlebar.
By doing so the issue was resolved, I did not feel any numbness anymore after a few long rides.
The crossbar served 2 purposes (multipurpose application):
1: Reinforce the handlebar
2: A point of attach for the DashCam

Interesting, I may do this as well, mainly for mounting my phone and GoPro.

Got a link to this crossbar?

Does it come with the black +- arrows?

I believe this is the crossbar:

MDL3505 Motowolf Universal Expansion Crossbar for Motorcycle Bike

Neat idea though. Pity it doesn't offer an ambient thermometer as an option.

Funny you mention that, I looked for many hours for a suitable outside air temp gauge to put my bike and not look out of place.

Cormanus, You are correct, the thermometer is not available from Motowolf.

A few years prior I had purchased a thermometer from "Marlin's" and I glued it
between the Speedo and the Tach right on top of the HONDA emblem.

The arrow is an option. :banana:

Because of the tread used, as a reminder during installation, I did mark the proper rotation so that I do not strip it when tightening/loosening the nut.

Good eyes. :clap:

WD, "Motowolf" had a cellphone holder that can be mounted from the mirror stem thus not blocking your vie of the speedo/Tach. It is also available with a built-in USB charger for the phone.

They have lots of interesting motorcycle accessories, their website.

I've been running RAM mounts for awhile, and I have my phone sitting in an X-Grip mounted to a double socket and small claw to the bar. I'll be getting a U-bolt to mount a little bit lower profile along the crossbar.

I stuck a 1" dial type meat thermometer in among the wires and cables on the handle bar and secured it with a couple of zip ties. All I can see of it is the face and it tells me the outside temp. Of course, it is subject to data interferences, but, close enough.

 

[Cormanus]

Good idea, Charlie Bravo.

I’m having the same problem on RS. I thought it’s because of “sporty” position.

I sold my bike because of this problem.
