keep your wrist straight don't rock your arms down what I'm talking about is if your arms are on the table hands down flat now lift up your hands keeping your arms on the table. when your hands are high on the bars and you drop your arms down it will restrict blood flow to your hands. Make sure you don't lock out your elbows too.

Good luck. Numbness anywhere after riding is a real buzzkill (rimshot!)
Will installing these invalidate the HD warranty? Or is the accessory sold in the HD dealerships?

Had ISO grips on my old bike. It was pretty comfortable but felt kinda large. Still never had problems with my hands falling asleep even with gloves on. New grips are smaller and comfortable as well only problem I have with them is when I crank on her and grip them too hard... then they tend to hurt but not fall asleep. The ISO grips also work well with the helmet lock/palm rest. Blended in very well with the grip and worked like a charm.

I have no idea.

My dealer sells them.

You can also get ISO pegs, too.

If you are older than mid 40's it might be a symptom of diabetes... All it takes is a simple blood test to know for sure.

I had the numbness problem in my hands and I tried several things but I found out my arms were extended and straight when riding most of the time. I adjusted my bars and got a new seat and backrest to help me sit forward a bit and the problem disappeared. My arms are bent and relaxed now.

Well, that and the fact that I am old. Body parts go to sleep at random times throughout the day for me.
