Well - seems you're just a bit of a nancy then.

Either that or overuse of your wa*king hand.

Thank you for the title change, i forgot how important it was to differentiate between pointy and curvey.

Sid, my good man, I wasn't aware that it was possible to over use your wanking hand. Mind you I have been known to give it a try on the odd occassion....

I knew we could get away with saying bollock but not wanking too! He he.

I'm sure you've read all of the usual stuff and will get more of it so I'm going to go for a wildcard. I know this may seem even more odd than the usual me but could it be something to do with the throttle cables, what with them being directly attached to the engine-ish? Maybe try tightening the throttle tube thingy to the bar or somefing or nuffing, or balance your throttle bodies or put the oem bars back on or sit on your hand for a few minutes before riding so you don't notice the vibes.

Or stop being a nancy.

Try changing the position of the bars? give them a twist as they have the same odd shape as mine and finding the perfect spot is difficult.

Your hand is going to fall off then.....

I agree with the boys, too much wanking.

Try sticking the standard bar ends weights back on for a ride Tony. Might make a difference. Heavier stock bar ends have better damping properties than R&Gs - or just get an IL4
