Title: Stomp Grip/Tank Tredz - Anybody using this stuff?
Post by: topangster on April 23, 2009, 10:36:19 PM
I'm thinking about putting some "grippy" on the sides of my tank to assist in hanging off while cornering.  Anybody have good results with particular products out there?  I hear Stomp Grip and Tank Tredz work well.  I have an s2r 1K with a stock seat.  Thanks!

i prefer techspec over stomp.

if you go w/ stomp, stay away from the clear. it's a pita to get the bubbles out.

Just ordered it on Friday for my black Monster.  Will post pics next week. 

I'll take a Guiness instead of the 10 points though...

I've got the stomp grip on my red bike.  I bought the kit specified for the monster.  It came with 2 precut pieces for each side, but I only used one on each side.  The bubbles take some work to get out, but a good sunny day and some poking with my finger was all it took. Here's what it looks like....

That's funny.  I asked about these a few years ago on the other board and everybody thought I was crazy.  Guess it's acceptable now.

I have TechSpec pads on my SV and like them.  Some people have complained that they tend to creep over time, but TechSpec describes them as a "wear" item.

Here's a pic of techspec (high fusion type) on my monster.  Love the stuff.  Very low key.

I've since put on rearsets and my knees now ride a bit higher, so I may add the pre-cut stompgrip upper piece.
