But they don't come in blue...

Now that sounds like my son, all his bikes have been in blue

I used to get what ever color the bike came in but blue is my favorite for sure.

Just an update on this and we rode 400 miles yesterday on twisty country back roads in the Ozarks and spent 8 hours in the saddle with an average speed of 50 MPH. While we had a few dumb moments during the day but I didn't have any numb moments at all in my throttle hand (left hand never has that problem) and that is a good thing. I'll try and find the other one and match it for the left side because for me it is more comfortable to hang on to.

grab on grips and crampbuster

i use the crampbuster with the grab-on replacement foam grips. the grips are a thinner diameter with a knob type end. they have worked out great, no numbness ever.

Yes, I always wear gloves with the padding in them, not sure if they are gel or not.

You probably suffer from carpel tunnel narrowing of the area where the nerves run through.

There is company that is called Sims Vibration Labratory's they make essentially stick on vibration dampeners for bows and guns etc but I used them on my former Spyder they seemed to work pretty good in lowering the amplitude of the vibration. The best solution is surgery and open those tunnels up some had the right hand done its great left not done it still goes numb on occasion. Frequency especially high frequency amplifies the issues and the Rotax is high rev.
