Now Im thinking about Stomp Grips

[the chi]

ya know, I dont understand this whole slippage issue. I dont slide around much on my bike in any kind of riding unless its intentional (or on steep inclines and declines like trips home area), but I use my legs to grip and shift. Maybe my experience riding horses helps with this, but I just dont understand how people move around so much and worry about sliding...

That said, I like the clear ones! And the smaller ones like Dim's are super classy lookin!

I used clear on my 998. Did nice job keeping the boys of that narrow tank during braking.

It's one of those things...unless you have used them for a while,you will not understand. I rode for longer than some of you have been alive without stompgrips. I can ride quite well without them. It's almost the same as trying to explain steel braided brake lines to someone who's never used them. Or my gel seat. Or rear sets. Or high dollar helmets vs cheaper ones. Etc.

you have normal sized legs on a midget body... and you weigh what 90lbs soak and wet in your lethers... (which I wouldn't mind seeing btw ) of course you don't slide much...

I know I felt very "loose" when at the dragon in my leather teknic pants... didn't like the feeling at all...

just cause your slutty and loose doesnt mean you have to share it with the class

As usual thank you for everyones input. The pictures look great and I think the clear ones look excellent. I am also glad to see they are doing a good job of keeping the jewels off the tank.

I may go with black just to be a little different, and if I don't like it I can always get clear for another 40 bucks.

Very true! I don't know if this will work but I had a crazy idea of getting vinyl and tracing out the stompgrip pattern and putting that on my tank first and then the clear stompgrip. If you don't like it,you should be able to peel the SG off,the vinyl off and then put the SG back on. Just an idea....

Thats a great idea Tig, I may just do that. I am placing my order right now which means stuff should be arriving in Atlanta shortly after I get home. Sweet god I love Alaska, but damn I miss civilization.

if u could get the vinyl to stick well enough, u could basically have any color stompgrip that way
