My wrists are starting to hurt. I was thinking of raised clip-ons and changing hand grips. So what kind of hand grips are you using? lifting weights maybe? Do you think something other than 12 ounce curls would help?

One of the best tips I ever received is to constantly move around. Even take your hands off the bar and rotate wrist and pump a fist. Also, I have been lifting a small dumbell, palm down, so to raise the hand and keep the forearm on a bench. This has helped my throttle hand immensely.

In addition to risers and helis, I use stock grips with the cushy Grip Puppies from California Sport Touring.

I ride an ST4s and I would not even think of a 74x or a 9xx just because of my comfort issue. But I sure would like to consider them!
