I thoroughly recommend them .. had them on the last 3 bikes and not caused any damage to my leathers Currently a black set on a black tank
Can anyone give me any tips to fitting these. I have a black tank and want to fit black grips. I,ve heard you have to heat them and the tank up and only do an inch at a time then leave em for a few days before using them....true??
Clean the area your gonna put the pads with meths or de-greaser, then heat the pad and application area, slowly and evenly apply the pad so as to reduce and prevent air bubbles, one final blast of the hairdryer and a firm pressing then leave for 24 hrs to let the 3m adhesive cure and set, job done..
Very annoyed, got the grips out of the packaging to fit tonight and they are the wrong shape for the tank. Can anyone confirm that the 12 model is a different shape so that i know i,m not being a numpty. Tried them everyway round i can think of and they deffo wont fit.
Yep, the tanks are a little different, and if it helps I know the techspec grips are different for the 08/11 and 12's.
Have you looked at the techspec for the 2012 as i think they look really good....not in the UK yet but they are on their way. TechSpec Gripster Tank Grip Pads - Honda CBR1000RR (2012) - Snake Skin | eBay
I've used stomp grips for years, they're great for track or road use. I've brought these for my bike now, they're not as well finished as stompgrips but do the job and save some cash... Eazi-Grip Tank Traction/Grip Pads **Honda Fireblade CBR 1000 RR '2008-2011' ** | eBay
