Update
I had my hands checked out over winter , their fine
Adjusted levers as far down as they will go to suit angle of wrists
Noticed the helibars do not have the aprilia internal bar dampers only the bar ends therefore fitted heavier bar ends
Fitted some of those grip puppies ( I like the feel )
Retaxed this morning went for a blast , I had forgotten just how good this bike is and
Hands perfect just cold ( race gloves and snow on hills )
