I developed numbness from carpal many years ago. I've been lucky never to have required surgery. I'm careful how I use a computer mouse nowadays, yet I still have days when my fingers go numb. That said, I was very concerned how I would ride my Harley when I first bought it. Fortuntely I found that a Throttle rocker works wonders. It allows me to use my palm to control the throttle and relax my grip (my carpal is aggravated mostly by hard gripping). Additionally, when on the highway I use the cruise control.

 

As you can see with 24 posts I don't use the computer much. Anyway's I watch my position because I know it irritates it but being a auto tech using impact guns and screwdriver's I don't have much control over the situation. Worker's comp, I wish. Ah well. Still wondering about the new Brown technique. Happy riding.
