Throttle lock?

[FE_rex]

Ill need some kinda cruise if im ever to go on a trip anywhere. Ive noticed in the last year i get tingley, numb fingers when i have my hands up on the handlebars for more than 15 mins. (Im getting older) but i refuse to quit. Ive started working out to increase circulation. I have a physical job and am "strong like bull".

Might want to get checked for carpal tunnel, just saying. I had same symptoms when I started to ride, got it fixed. World of difference even using standard hand tools. Regained hand strength, stamina I did not know I had lost.

Even if you are 'strong like bull' you can get numb hands. I started getting the numb hands after about 20 minutes about 15 years ago. I use to never get numb hands even without a windshield. When I started getting it I couldn't figure it out and also thought it could be carpal tunnel. Got checked and I'm just getting older. I tried all of the tricks such as relaxing your arms and grip to no avail. It just happens and I accept it. In your case it could be worth checking as Fe_rex suggested.

Are both hands getting tingly to about the same degree?

I love the Crampbuster:

Crampbuster – The Original Motorcycle Cruise Control

Not a cruise control, but definitely helps with hand cramps on long rides. Best $10 you can spend for a motorcycle!

One good thing about throttle "locks" is that you can show off by waving to other riders with your right hand................

It also lets you shoot with your right hand.

That’s a Throttlemeister throttle locker.
I don’t think they make them anymore.
They had a matching weight for the left bar so that you don’t have to sit to the left side of the seat to avoid going into a perpetual right turn.

They don’t work with the Kuryakyn cramp busters as they bolt into the end of the bar...

Still the best and safest solution around. Easy on, easy off, trips automatically when you hit the front brake, adjustable on the fly. Worth the effort to install. Brakeaway!
