It's interesting how this condition is more / less severe depending on the bike. I suffer worse on my Bonneville than I do on the ZX1100, which suprises me a bit, as I would have thought that the forward leaning position puts more strain on the wrists on the Ninja. Maybe in my case it's the extra vibes in the bonnie that do it. I have found that by relaxing my grip I can relieve the problem somewhat.

I agree with Bob on the mesh gloves - I use a pair of cortech GX air gloves - they have good air flow, plus some good padding and protection. They are quite comfortable.
