    Re: New grip pads

    Are they easy to install? 

     I got tank grips and they were a pain to put on.  Air bubbles everywhere.  I did not use a heat gun so it's sort of my fault, but didn't think I would need to use a heat gun to put on a sticker.

    Re: New grip pads

    I used to have Stomp Grips on my R6 track bike which worked great, but I felt they were starting to be a bit abrasive on my leathers.  I replaced them with a set of the Tech Spec pads which work OK, but don't seem to grip quite as well as the Stomp Grips but still good enough.  I haven't really been able to tell if they wear my leathers less, but I think so.  The one side started to come up after a little while, but I glued it back down with some contact cement and it has been good since.

    Re: New grip pads

    I have the tech specs as well. For the price tank grips of any kind are a win win for any track bound bike. Tech Specs will work best if the bike also sees street use, for a track only bike Stomp Grips are the way to go.

     

    Looks good.
