I'm looking for a decent set of gloves that help with vibration. With the gloves I've got I can ride for 50 miles max when i start to get the numb fingers. My gloves are old and have probably covered a few miles, I'm  asking if anyone could recommend good gloves but not at silly prices, I'm happy to pay upto 70 quid, but not more unless i really have too. thanks in advance

Hi Dave.....it might not have anything to do with the gloves.....mine go numb within minutes irrespective of what i'm wearing......touch of carpal tunnel Unhappy.....should check and see if you've got it too.

Try changing the grips to see if that makes a difference?
it may take some vibe away

Dave the 929 is supposed to be a very smooth motor, not vibey at all.  Certainly the 'blade I had recently on loan from North Yorkshire was very revvy, but not vibey at all.

As such, it may be worth checking a few things such as throttle bodies sync, balancer shaft (if it's adjustable) and possibly even things like the front wheel bearings, front wheel balance weights etc.

Just a thought?
