Tank Grips

Postby MrFaulty » Fri Jan 27, 2012 1:07 pm

Hi, I currently have clear tank grips on my bike, however, the adhesive is failing. Is there an adhesive I can get to fix this - I thought of Selleys All Clear but I want to be able to take them off if I want to. Otherwise, where is the best place to get some - if I am replacing them, I will probably aim for something black. Bike is a ZX6RR 2003

Cheers
Ben

Ebay is your friend for stomp or tech grips.

Triway?

I thought $50 to your door from the US for genuine stomp grips was a good price.

Get a sheet and cut to shape yourself.

Much better looking than the stomps.

I see heaps of people with Stomp grips coming off. The Techspec grips stick so much better. They also look better in my opinion. Some people prefer the extra grip Stomp grips offer but they also chew up the leathers of some riders. Personally, I think the Techspec grips are the better option and as Wattie said, Triway on here is great to deal with.

My knees have never fallen off and require no adhesive. ;)

But you weight 28kg ringing wet. :lol:


Come to think of it, I don't think any GP riders have anything on their tanks either. :? My excuse is that I'm still learning and occasionally don't get locked it very well and need the extra help to stop me from falling off. :oops:

Thanks, like the idea of cutting my own out (or at least designing them!).
