I switched over to biltwell thruster and haven't had any issues with them. I had grip puppies on the oem grips before I made the switch and they made a big difference.

The pins and needles have been getting worse for about 6 months - usually could shake them off as riding but I did a lot of tilling recently and it has really aggravated the issue. Its the constant gripping, with wrist bent forward or backwards that irritates the nerve. Wider grip might help, but if its carpal tunnel, it will eventually need to be looked at.Thanks for the replies.
It looks as though the grip puppies will be a good starting point. I'm not wanting or needing to reduce vibes, my main goal is to increase the girth and make it more comfortable to wrap my hand around (innuendo intended)
If the grip puppies don't do anything I will try replacing the complete grip with something like the Biltwells mentioned.

Do you get permanent pins and needles with carpal tunnel?
I only get them if I am holding something in a reasonably static and constant position. If you imagine e holding a mobile phone to play games, or even the iPad I'm using to type this reply. It's only then that I experience the pins and needles.
When riding the bike I get them if I'm riding along roads at a reasonable pace but not particularly requiring much throttle movement or braking.
If I'm bang on it on a fast twisty road then I have no issues as I'm constantly going between full throttle, rolling on and off and braking more often and harder. .... If that makes sense??
Move to England then. Weather is sh%t here right now, you wont miss the riding:glee:The pins and needles have been getting worse for about 6 months - usually could shake them off as riding but I did a lot of tilling recently and it has really aggravated the issue.

I'm not a doctor, so don't rely on my advice/comments. I am wearing a splint now to immobilise the wrist until they can sort it out - perfect warm riding weather too![]()
Maybe we could organise a Sunny Sunday South West Scrambler Social Day, we can compare Scramblers, Mods and medication.Sorry to make light... I do have utmost sympathies. Recent shoulder surgery has ruined any sustained riding for me. Arthritic hands are no fun in winter either. Good luck with the healing.
I'm interested to learn how you do yoga on the bike ...Pins and needles in the arms and hands is often a problem originating in the neck.
The neck problems could be exclusively the neck or problems further down in the thoracic spine.
Doing movement patterns, rehab, prehab and some yoga based movements will help for sure.
I'm no doctor btw!
