I've seen the old articles and reviews on the GS1150 giving off the "tingling hands" and numb fingers. Mine is the same. Have any of you 1150ers found a good fix for this?

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have heard about them doing it. A good carb sync can help, also some bar end weights

A Barsnake (barsnake.com) works well. Also, I like the Sunline Gran Touring grips. If they can quell the vibes in an XS650, they can help your GS.

I filled the bars with lead shotgun shot. This eliminated the vibs completely after a good sync job.

For bar weights go to your local disposal store and buy a handful of #3 or #4 pyramid-shaped fishing sinkers (sorry, can't remember their technical name - something about the sea bottom). The sinkers cost me $1 per pair. Hammer the bases out round, but bigger than the inside bar diameter, and drive them pointy end first into the ends of the bars. 3 or 4 each end should do the trick to form a couple of snug fitting plugs.
Oh yeah - take the grips, etc. off before doing this

You definately want to do a carb synch, can make a world of difference. You might also check the front motor mounts. They have rubber inserts and if yours are original they probably show some wear and harding of the rubber.
