RE: [ST] Prob: Vibration causing hands to go to sleep

Dan,

Sounds like a neat idea.  Sorry for my ignorance about bar weights - but
is this something I can get at a dealer or something that I need to
order online?

Paul,

This may have come up by now, I'm a couple days behind in reading the
digests, but one thing you could try is to add some weight at the end of
the bars, maybe through new bar ends.  The added weight will lower the
frequency of the vibration, hopefully low enough so that it isn't as
painful as before.  Try experimenting with different weights.  You'll
eventually hit a "sweet spot" between the natural frequencies of the
bars.
