I think......before spending money on forks try out some foam grips or gloves or cork tape double wrapped or touring type bar with more hand positions

Thanks

I'd suggest better grips too (Grab-ons are by far the best grips for mountain biking ever made ) but 1-track-mind is doing off-road touring. On a rigid bike, on less than smooth roads or trails, that can be brutal! I've done it. Having a fork to take some of the abuse is far better. A suspension fork will also help with control especially if you get on something rutted.
