Stomp Grip/Tech Spec
 
Anyone use either Stompgrip or another product called Tech Spec?

Had the ZX6 for a couple of weeks now and I keep sliding into the tank (read wacking my b*lls against it!) Just after recommendations please.

I know Luke Millar used stomp grips on his old 'R6, he may be able to add a little.

Hi Andy,

That was the same reason I got for my R6. I loved the stuff and have just ordered a kit for the 675. Main use for it is to help you grip the tank with your knees under braking. People say that it gives you grip when hanging off, but it doesn't really make that much difference for that.

Haven't heard of the tech grip stuff, though a quick look at their website shows that it is pretty similar sort of stuff - just stompgrip is clear so it is less obvious. I order mine (both times) from here:

Thanks
Luke

I think just about everyone that's used Stompgrips likes it. But it looks AWFUL :rolleyes: Being clear-ish's no help. I'd sooner have a coloured one myself, than a half-clear ugly one.

Course, that's a wee bit of a shallow comment :D But that's what I do.

I was sort of thinking the same thing but like you say it seems to work so I've gone with it and ordered some. The tech grip stuff is black which would match my frame etc but some people didn't really rate it!

I rather like the Tech Spec High Fusion ones... They've got a reasonable rep from what I've seen but definately not as good as Stompgrips. The Ice ones get a terrible rap, in fact the company even says they're not great for harder riders.
