The first (cheapest) thing to try is gel grips. They're about $20 US or less a pair and make a huge difference in the amount of vibration transmitted. Vibration can cause a lot of nerve damage FAST.
The second thing is bar risers. The 1" GenMar extensions will raise the bars about an inch and move the bars back about half that (depending on front suspension angle.) That will let you keep the grip ends at stock height but with a bit more angle.
Both of those made a big difference for me. The grips stopped my left hand from going numb and the bar angle change took a lot of stress off my wrists.
I've got a pair of the GenMar 1" risers for sale. I've refinished them to match the stock risers pretty closely, so it's not an obvious add-on. If you're interested e-mail or pm me.
