Yea well, I had a couple problems with the last set but they were my fault. This is the 4th set of Stomp Grips that have been on this bike for various reasons and hopefully the last!

The undertail looks good.

I'm not sure about the stompgrips. I've never ridden a bike with them so I don't know how the feel or how well they function.

Big problem is if you let the stompgrips sit in the hot sun BEFORE you put them on.......the glue gets all runny and it comes off when you peel the backing off.

Stompgrips are great for hard braking, but for quick transitions I don't like how you have to practically lift your leg off the shit in order to pivot around. There's another company that makes grips, I forgot their name, but theirs are black and much less aggressive.

So you already basically had ntegrated blinkers and tailights and you added a second set of both??

Interesting.

My buddies Stomp Grips Def wore into his leather A star suit...Not a hole but you can def see the wear mark.

Yea, I wanted a new undertail and this one was cheap, $69 shipped, and already white. As far the Stompgrips go, I've used them or a variant since '01 so I'm used to them.
