Stompgrips

Of the people who have used Stompgrips,how many have tried to ride a bike without them and found that they can't?

I'm taking it you're running into this issue?

I'm so used to mine, I'd probably feel like I was sliding off the bike without them. Stompgrip makes you feel nice & planted.

Never Ridden with them So dunno what its like without them...My Buddy rides with them though and he seems to like them.

Although he did say that hig Leather one peice was starting to rub off and could possibly cause a tear from riding with the Stomgrip.

Yep! I took my bike for a little ride last night and whoa I felt like I wasn't in control at all! SUCKS big time!

Dude, as soon as I bought my new bike and put on around 400 miles without them, I started missing mine very much. So I bought some on Saturday and I feel normal again.

I racked myself when I took them off for a little bit.

Some of the finish (the glossy stuff) has rubbed off of the inside of the knees of my leathers where they contact the Stompgrip. I doubt the protective qualities are harmed.

I'm riding, not going to a fashion show.

wouldn't it be better to use the one brand that is removable and reuse able?

I forgot what they are called but not hard to find. They are a little less agressive but sound like still a good part to have. Who knows you may need to repaint that tank or switch bikes.
