I was gonna say are y'gloves getting tight?

+1, use your knees to grip the tank and your stomach muscles to hold your weight, you should have very little weight on your wrists, make sure too that your elbows are bent and not straight

Foam grips take some of the vibration out, you could also (if they adjust) turn the handlebars up 25 degs or so thus taking some of the weight and presure off you hands.

Use to have either ace bars, flats or clip on's on my bikes- all push your weight on to your hands and wrists- you will get used to it, but the sponge type grips will ease it 50%

I remember the Ace clockprotectors on our LCs they used to be a savage angle compared to the std bars...

Prone is the only way to go
