Default Tank Grips + Protector

Thought the tank was slippy before, fully waxed the bike properly at the weekend and it almost bucked me off!

Looking for (tasteful!!) of the above to suit a Blue K5. All the ones I look for seem to be generic and I'm clueless!

Stompgrips can provide a suitable surface and stick either side of the tank where your thighs go .
I don`t wax my bike , I clean her with Fenwicks FS1 and then use Mer Polish , gives a nice finish and the bike isn`t too slippery either .
