After a service at Brighton Kawasaki during the week, we also picked up some STOMP!! Tank protector
All i can say is im glad they fitted it, some 2 hours later it was done!! :shock:

It's raised, and grips quite well.

Yep had to get it just right.... :lol:

(im not to keen on the look myself)

Now for a fender eliminator, so many to choose from arhhhh

Bet that wont take long, they move in the heat aswell.
It has a sweet plastic/silicone smell to it.

mmmm silicon :shock:

Have used STOMP on on one of the race bikes before & it works a treat but looks like shite (universal ones that are quite large)

Does not look too bad on your scoot SenNey it sorta fits in with the tank protector

Whats it supposed to protect the tank against?

Its only the inner leg/knee area making contact
with that part of the tank

its designed to be a grip tape, much like surfers use...so u can grip the tank easier with ya knees....racers use it, didnt think ne1 would put it on a roadie tho??

OIC

That explains why I've neva seen/noticed it on a bike B4.

I have it on (1) side of my 636 tank & it does work very well, until it starts to peel off & then if your really unlucky it falls off @ QR on turn 2 & you think to yourself, I wish the marshalls would pick up the crap that somebody has left on the track & find out when you get back to the pits it is your STOMP....

I notice many roadies, have clear like contact on the side of there tanks.
Helps to prevent scratches.

This is a toss of an idea, and i think looks shit :shock:

Exactly what I thought when Had em on the race bike ....it works really well but looks as you said........ shit
so what is the comprimise.... do you want to look good? or hang off the sucker scraping everything knowing your knee wont move?... & yes its a confidence booster on the track
