Mood: Almost over it.
I have an '02 900ss and before that a '99 750ss (actually still have it and it's for sale - hint). While there is noticeable vibration through the bars, I don't think I've ever really had it so bad that my fingers we numb for 3 days.

Sometimes on long ride I find my whole left arm goes tingly, but the pain is mostly from the shoulder, that I ruined through sport. When this happens I find that it's quite comfortable to shift my weight back in the seat a little and rest my elbows on my thighs. This really takes the weight off my arms, shoulders and wrist. I feel quite comfortable and safe if it's long motorway miles you're doing. I'm not sure I'd want to ride like this through twisties.

I've found the vibrations on my mate's Bandit much worse than my Supersport.
