Anyone have the black stomp grips on their black Blade & can pop a piccy up? I forgot to take mine off the Repsol when it went....durrrr. It was clear though and I think I may prefer the black ones on this bike.
Have a look at TechSpec grips too. Less abrasive than Stomp grips and excellent customer service when I needed some new bits for them.
Sorry not leather A man with OCD tendancies should be impressed I can wash my bike in a washing machine
I have black tank gripper pads on mine Lozzy, you can have a butcher's at them tomorrow whilst your licking my carbon heel guards! !
Techspec snake skin, Can be removed and re-fitted up to 9 times, Good grip without to much abrasion. Only have a picture of them fitted to my Yami, Got mine from SpeedyCom Performance Limited http://www.speedycom.co.uk/shop/
Bloody hell. I'm starting to wonder whether I can ride a bike properly or not. I don't use tank grips and never feel the need to 'grip' onto the tank. Am I missing out somewhere, or is this another 'personal riding style' issue?
They can be really helpful as they allow your legs to help take the load off your upper body. Also helps protect the family jewels under rapid braking! One of those things that you don't miss until you have had them.
I have clear on my HRC but they do get dirty and dont look to good, But like said once you have had them, you would not be without them. I dont know if there is a better colour.
You're right. I wouldn't use anything other than clear on a white tank too, although black could key in with the black infill panel beneath the tank.
I've got black Eazi-Grip Silicone on mine, cheaper than Stomp and no issues so far. https://www.eazi-grip.com/eazi-grip/
Thanks for the suggestions guys but I'm sticking with stomp grips. I had a look at the others but just personal preference on the styling and shape won the day. Ive found some black ones on ebay at the right price
Steve are they r&g rearsets you have on? Can't quite make the logo out. What's the adjustment like on them?
Yeah lozzy...R+G...fair bit of adjustment. ...was already fitted to bike when i bought bike...personally i would have bought the gilles VCR's....but the R+G's are pretty good. .and who doesn't love black rear sets
Fitted the Stompgrips. Glad I stayed with the brand and also went for black, I think they've blended in well
