    Stop watching the ladies beach volleyball. The numbness will disappear in time.

    Sw motech risers fitted but have not tried the bike but while fitting them the Oem handlebar clamp was not very tight so that might have been the cause????

    gary- i think the clamp is only supposed to fit one way around so it seats properly. they will need torquing up and then checked again after 50 miles. if you have done this check your torque wrench is not failing

    Tried the sw motech risers in anger today a very spirited ride, they defo help my hand only had slight numbness on a scale 0-10 I would say 3 but before fitting the risers it was 8. so a lot better BUT noticed another big improvement in that there's no more sliding forward on the seat, so very happy with the risers and a cheap mod at £44.

    Now my next problem can the throttle be mad smoother without costing a small fortune.
