Default Tank Grips - Pointy

Could someone recommend some tank grips for a pointy, pictures would be great as well, TheGuru had some fitted to his old bike but the for sale thread is long gone now?

If you want them to serve a real purpose as in track riding or fast road then here is my advice:

DO NOT buy these R&G grips they are pathetic because:
1) They offer little grip when your knee is in contact
2) They are rather small so cover little area on the tank therefore your knee won't contact with it in many cases.

BUY these STOMP grips they are awesome because:
1) They are very grippy
2) They are very sticky (As in to the tank)
3) They cover a larger area of the tank giving grip however you are positioned on the bike.

Here's a (not brilliant) photo of the R&G ones on my bike, the stomp ones are around 30-40% larger in area terms
