just after a consensus of opinion...mucho grateful of your replies stomp grips - any good? What look best on a black RR06 - clear or black grips?
+1 can't go wrong with stompgrip, I'd go with black on a black bike, make sure you do it someplace warm, and preheat stompgrip and panels with a hairdryer....
"some place warm" - that rules out my garage then! Might wait till Spring rears it's head before I lash them on then, hairdryer is no problem though, got teenagers who have to preen themselves before leaving the house so I'll steal that when they aren't looking!
When I had my 14 blade I found them to be a " must have", made for a more relaxed ride not having to take the weight on the arms.
I'd also go for the black stomp grips on a black bike. One thing to note with stomp grips is they are quite abrasive and have worn away at the stitching on my Arlen Ness leathers.
Have a look at Techspec tank grips. Good alternative to stomp grips, very grippy, last forever and don't rip the shit out of the inside of your leathers.
Just fitted some Eazi-grips to mine, clear though on a red tank. Instantly feels better with less weight on your wrists.
+1 for the Stomp Grips,2nd bike I've used them on and no damage to my RST leathers (which are 7 years old) or my textiles. All road use,no track.
I found that i was braking so hard that my knees just slipped off the stomp grips so swapped them for barbed wire....
Yeah love the stompgrips, but they do wear your leathers out a bit sooner and i would use the black ones on black bikes, the clear ones are more of a pain to put on "bubble free" I have both black and clear on my R1
