  1. Guys anybody fitted it to there bike?

    Does it massively alter the look of the tank?
     
  2. Got them on a 1098 black bike black stomp grips lots here have them. Due to black on black it doesn't change the look at all IMHO, work great I hate sliding around.

    I don't like the clear ones at all.

    Think I seen black ones on a white 848 looked great

    If you're going for them make sure they are less than 3 years old (the date is on the pack) as the adhesive has a shelf life and also if problems Stomp Grip in USA will not entertain any claims if purchased from the Bay of Fleas...............ask me how I know?:Arghh:

  3. Indeed, the clear ones are a pain. Ive got black on black too and they make a huge difference, all positive :)
     
  4. Hi,

    I fitted tech spec tank grips got online from America! Look really good on my red 848.

  5. I've just fitted the clear ones to mine and they look fing awful, I'm going to run them for when I go to Almeria end of the month then they are coming off and going in the bin to be replaced by black ones !

  6. I fitted clear. Went on no probs and I got all the air bubbles out. The only done side was that is discoloured after a while around the edges.
     
  7. If you're not keen on the looks of Stompgrips, have a look at TechSpecs. Same idea, different execution. They're less aggressive but offer decent grip for street riding (haven't ridden on track).

  15. Like the red logo on the stealth tank though :)
     
  16. Thanks mate.
    I'm not completely sold on the black on white, or the clear. The problem with the clear is that they don't seem to adhere uniformly and the air bubbles underneath look patchy.
    I guess they serve a purpose though, and once on the bike it doesn't really matter how they look?
    If the clear went on better I'd consider getting them but for now I may just swap the pegs for bicycle toe clips!
     
  17. I got clear stomp grips fitted on mine, they are a ball ache to get on properly without air bubbles etc.. but if you take the time to do it properly i.e slowly with a hair dryer they blend in quite nicely. I didn't bother with the overhang grips though, I find the main side panels do the job for me.

    +1 on not understanding why the hell people put the logo sticker underneath, seems a little pointless to me. Surely the fact the gel grip itself is embossed with the 'stompgrip' logo a thousand times over is enough for anyone :D
