Anyone get numb hands after 20 mins of riding or so?
Cant work out whether its due to vibes, riding pos and/or me being a bit lanky (6ft) for it. Got some bar ends fitted but I dont think they are standard.

Re: Numb Hands
I had the same feeling when I started riding a bike, try not to grip so tight. That seems to help. Use your legs to grip the bike
Above all, relax.

Re: Numb Hands
i get numb hands when riding .. used to think it was the vibration from my TZR, but it still happens now, and i havent owned that bike in 4 years.
think its a circulation thing, although for me its definitely worse if ive been messing about in the garage getting oil/swarf on my hands.

Try them, I found the same problem when I used some aluminium bar ends for a while. People forget they are there to serve a job, and it's the same as saving weight by omitting wheel balancing weights!
Other thing that will aggrevate it is if maybe you have heat grip, as they're made of harder rubber.
Other than that, the CB is quite a vibey little machine, with vibes at high frequencies coming through the bar and causing this discomfort.
