Tank Grips it is. How amazing are they......apparently!?!
This is the blurb on the TechSpec tank gripsters (or whatever they are called) packaging.
Never mind upgrading forks, tyres, brakes and all that unnecessary modification nonsense. Slap on a couple of rubbery squares and you're capable of pole at the next MotoGP.

Haha. I thought that was your review of them. I nearly got a pair!

I have been looking at these for a while, would probably go for stomp grips though as they come in clear.

Anyone use them??

The £60 ones make your bike stop and go faster too :D

Pompone, how do you think I feel? I have paid for the beginners track day at Silverstone. With these on my bike I should obviously be in the Advanced class!

I've been looking for some of these for a while. (But not very hard, obviously.)

Got a link ?

If you buy 2 you could race Moto GP in open class. I believe Marquez has 12 fitted on his bike and eats 3 for breakfast :yoparty:

Don't mock! - I think they aren't far wrong actually?

Had some 'Eazi-Grip' strips and they worked okay.

But yesterday, I popped the snakeskin TechSpec ones I had on my other set of panels (as the adhesive allows you to remove and refit)

I've never gotten to Tesco so quick! even got my foot down on the roundabout MotoGP stylie

Best 'go faster' bang for your buck since Monster Spokey Dokeys I say?

I had Tech Specs C3 on my Ninja. They were a revolution until about 5 moths later when they had worn very badly and became pretty shiny. I was disappointed to say the least with the wear. Turns out the C3 is just EVA foam.

I have the C3 on my Monster and they do see to make a difference.

My mate bought Snake skin and the materials seems much better.

Sadly Tech Spec don't do MV grips, so I've gone for Eazi Grip by R&G. Definitely not as comfortable.

I "used" them today on my daily commute. Can't say my overalls got any skillier. I might have put them on the wrong way 'round.
They are a nice thing, I got the snakeskin ones from:
