Handlebar comfort

damark115 · 03-14-2009, 10:25 AM

I have a 2000 Nomad FI. My problem is my wrists seem to twist outward to fit on my grips. Almost as though the bar ends are too close to each other and turned back too much. My wrists get sore / numb is short time. I find myself grabbing just the ends of the bars. I am not overly wide 6'2 at 230 lbs. I almost feel like I need a straighter bar. Has anyone swapped bars for the same reason? I have stock risers and recently added 3/4" sockets for cheap riser extensions to try the feel. I thought about sitting on stock bikes at a dealer but rider position may affect the feel. Am I the only one?
