When I say "grip" the tank I don't mean just when you're leaned over. I mean when you're just cruising, it's nice to have a grippy tank so that your lower body can absorb bumpy roads. This takes the stress off your back and arms.

I always have the ball of my feet on the pegs, and I like to "push" my thighs up into the lip on the tank, if there is one. I really liked the 05-06 Kawi 636 because they had a lip that was so prominent that you didn't even need to push your legs into it, they were already there.
Stomp Grips could fix that I ride the same as you and never had a problem on the GSXR.
