so im not sure if its me or the bike but.... on longer rides the vibrations tend to make my right hand start to kind of fall asleep... ive tried loosening my grip, changing my hand position, everything i can think of... this might just be a newb mistake, but i was thinking maybe some gel grips would help.... if anyone thinks this would help, do you have any recommendations on some decent gel grips??? thanks in advance for your input!

They will help some. You still have stock bar ends? if so get some nice heavy metal ones, they will soak up a lot of the vibration. That was the biggest help that i found.

I get the same thing. I thought it was my gloves,..but its just the way it is. I concur on the relaxing gig. That and sit up a little more and dont put so much of your weight on the front.

tuck in the elbows a bit when you notice.  It''s kind of goof feeling at first but helps.

Yes! Those Pro Grips are the greatest! Use the dirt bike ones that have the texture/pattern of the surface of a golf ball. Trim the ends off and slide them on!! A-1 for sure. The Ducati guys up here use them all the time. Cheers!!!
