When I ride mnt. bikes I do not ride w/ elbows locked.
It takes weight off your ulna nerve thats on the palm of your hand and makes your hand tingal it also works your abs so your getting a little bit of a work out. Also because its a sport bike use you knees/thighs to hold your position to help keep your elbows bent. This new riding position is a little different at first but you wont notice it after awhile. Also look @ any bicycle gloves and check out where the pad is on the palm of the glove, then try to find motorcycle gloves that are simular. Try these things till you get a Go fit w/ your bike
Good luck Scott
