WHAT FINGERS???

I kept loosing the feeling in my thumb and first 2 fingers on my left hand THIS MEANT NO CLUTCH CONTROL 8O
A wrist operation for Carpal Tunnel later and it was cured!
I'd had the right wrist operated on about 8 years earlier. My right had kept going numb at night, not good when you get a shout and have to drive the fire truck!

Carpal tunnel syndrome effect the thumb and first 2 fingers. If it's these that keep going numb, go see your doctor!

Mine always played up when filtering in London traffic.

I know for a fact that its your new gloves or gloves that fit ''slightly tight ''.. It happened to me a while back.. I even got heavier bar ends and after a few rides the gloves stretched and the numbness went away.. If it has never happened to you before its the gloves for sure..

LOL I used to hang for my life when I first started riding my hawk.. Even with no gloves hands got numb.. lol ease up on the grip. Good luck..

Get a vista cruise. Then you can open your hands on the highway. Gripping decreases circulation so open your hand 15-20 times (one at a time please) and it goes away.

To help before a long(2000mile) trip I melted lead fishing sinkers and poured it into crome pipe (1.25"ish diameter), then drilled holes in the lead (cooled) and bolted them on. Wow, soooo smooooth.

And these guys make these vibrinator dampers. They work like the dampers in skyscrapers (alledgedly) but a good motomag here in the US rated them effective. (this mag has no adverts so are honest)
