    Been on a few 4 hour rides on my VFR and noticed tingling sensation in hands. Im assuming its the position of the bars. I'd like to tilt the break and clutch levers down slightly and maybe move the clip on bars slightly forward about 5 degrees.

    Also need to do the 600 mile service.

    Any tips or advice?

    Thanks

    I will give those a shot. I have a '13 vfr 1200. Will the Vibranator for the ,vfr800,blackbird fit on the 1200?

    Your best bet is to call and ask. If you arent able to talk to someone or prefer email, you can email Don, the inventor himself at Don@Ricorshocks.com. Tell him I sent you. If he doesnt have any in a VFR1200 yet, there is a chance he may work a really good deal with you, in exchange for your feedback. But... I would think by now he DOES have VFR1200 owners using them...

    I suspect that you may also be grabbing those grips for all you are worth. In addition to that vibrinator, try focussing a little on your grip to see if in fact you are holding them like a baseball bat. Btw Chickie. Welcome back.

    One of my first mods was Heli-Bars with Vibranators, they work!! ( and you don't have to mess around getting OEM dampers out)
