What "bend" would you say the stock bars are close to?
I'm thinking of going to something different. I'm thinking a slight rise, less sweep, and reasonably priced(kinda cheap). Any suggestions?

I get numb hands, especially my right palm area. I try to remind myself to not grip too hard. I wear gloves and they're not too tight. The numb area is in the palm on the little finger side. I'm thinking that a straighter across bar may take some pressure off that area and be more comfy. Any body with experience on this issue?
Thanks

 

You might even try risers, I have a 1 inch set, they were cheaper and easier I think to install than new bars. I don't have them on yet as I got them to lower the bike and I never have done it.

 

Bar height and bend may help to change. I use RICOR Vibranators with bar-end weights and Cycra handguards. It makes me feel as if I have a much heavier bike, because the vibrations just don't get to my hands.
