Default Tank Grips

I headed this generically so others can leave feedback too on their purchases.


I have just purchased a set of Eazi-Grip tank pads for the SV Black.
Fitted them Friday, they state 48 hours drying time..


I got them due to sore arms/elbows since the purchase of my Alpinestars textile trousers a while back. Great trousers but a bit slippery.
Being a tight git (all my money goes on the house and 3 kids) I couldn't justify £54.00 for the techsomethingorothers that had been mentioned in a thread on here. After the RG ones were dissed I thought that at £29.00 these were worth a punt.


Fairly simple to fit, would be really simple to fit except for the separate logo! Tossers. Anyhow once you stick this on first and then put the pad over it's fairly simple. My OCD isn't quite happy as the grips aren't totally in line. You get one go at putting them on as the glue is damn sticky. As you'd want it to be.


First ride in this morning, what a difference. No sliding at all, the family jewels aren't in danger under heavy braking. More confidence leaning into the corners as I'm not slipping all over the place.
Well worth the money even if it turns out they don't help with the sore elbows.
