How is that the Buell pegs help? They don't really look any different.

I've had things like my butt, hands etc go numb, but the worse was the end of my... cough... ya! I did take great advantage of this and beat it like a step child.

I'm old and beat up.

I'm happy when things go numb, less pain that way.

Final answer I guess is, ignore it
What if you can't ignore it? Someone mentioned wrapping and ace bandage around the throttle but I don't think that worked since hubby removed it. We are taking a long trip in a couple weeks and I know he is going to have this trouble with his hands going to sleep.
