raulduke, i bought my monster and rode it 600 miles home.  Ouch.  I'm, er, I was 220 with a 32" inseam.  Started working on the ergos right away.  Had triple clamps made and used mulitstrada risers and renthal dirtbike bars, cyclecat footpegs and tried diffrent seats but used the stocker.  Did 1100 miles in two days and had no problems once the changes were made.  It's not cheap but it's cheaper than buying a new bike.  That's whats great about monsters is that you can tweek'em.

So you used cyclecat footpegs or cyclecat rear sets?

Remember to flap your elbows once in a while to remind yourself to take your weight off your wrists.
That will help with the numbness some. Give your hand an occasional shake too. Do you have bar end weights?
If you don't, try filling your bar with lead shot. That will dampen vibration and help with the numb hands too.
