Among the adjustments that can be made to the motorcycle, you can, as a first step, tweak the handlebar angle or change the position of the brake and clutch levers to allow for a more relaxed and comfortable posture.
If you feel that your lightweight handlebar is the main cause of vibration, an aftermarket handlebar that is heavier than the standard handlebar can also help reduce excessive vibrations.
However, if you are experiencing severe vibrations, you should thoroughly inspect your motorcycle to determine if the front tire, suspension, or another part of your motorcycle’s suspension system is causing the problem.
In case everything seems to be fine from a mechanical point of view and you still experience vibrations all the time, an anti-vibration riser can solve the problem.
For this we recommend Rox, an American brand that has patented the adjustable, pivoting riser.
And not only does Rox allows you to raise the pivot point, but it also allows you to adjust the angle quite precisely at which you want to hold your handlebars.
Another alternative that works splendidly for riders experiencing numbness is aftermarket grips. These grips incorporate more padding than conventional grips that come bundled with the motorcycle.
One such example, is Pro Grip. This brand offers superior padded grips that are extremely comfortable for street, dirt or dual sport riding. And as the name suggests, it is an upgrade over the stock handlebar grips, in case you are looking to reduce vibrations that are transferred to your hands.
In fact, all the grips offered by this brand have a universal design, so the only thing you need to know before you buy is whether you have 7/8-inch or 1-inch handlebar (the only exception is the lock-on series, which offers a motorcycle-specific grip).
