V4 Tank Grip/support Extender

  1. Talk to me you lovely people.. What you using, what works - what doesn't?

    Just back from my first time at Jerez (EPIC Track); yes I'm isolating for 2 weeks, so now have a lot of time to spend surfing for stuff I don't need and can't afford...

    What I do need however is a tank extender. I really struggled for the first 2 days with serous arm pump to the point I could only get 2 laps in before I literally couldn't brake into turns. Not what you want at the end of the straight..!

    Some one pointed out I might be too close and putting too much pressure on my arms as the tank is sooo narrow meaning I couldn't get a proper thigh grip...

    Et Voila.. I MacGyvered one from my old track flip-flops "borrowed" from a hotel....

    Yes I know its as Ugly as a Donkey but it WORKED!!! It's also now officially 150mph tape!

    Arm pump was completely eliminated so now I need to find something Puuurty for my baby...
    There's loads out there but I'd really appreciate to know what experiences good or bad any of you have had, either extenders or tank covers with built in extenders...

    Thanks guys and gals..
     
  2. Looks like you're smuggling drugs. The title surely means longer fuel range than tank-grip pads'

    Airhawk seat, can be moved about & blown up or deflated too cushion different positons.
     
  3. Ha!! I be a pretty rubbish drugs mule if that were my attempt but I see your point...
     
  4. If you wear a strap on it may help? And you can buy different sizes for adjustment.
     
  5. Couple of nice options! But I would fashion my own:upyeah: especially at the price of the complete seat unito_O
