They also go yellow fairly quickly.

A nice 300 miles on the bike today. i managed to miss most the rain, and only caught a bit of drizzle in the morning.
The next biking weekend out will be around 500 miles to Bodmin and back. The last 'big' weekend before the Highlands trip.

And the second set were on my GSXR - Clear EVO.

The clear was a big mistake, the air bubbles were a nightmare.

If I ever get another bike it'd be the first thing I'd fit. I'd now never own a bike with out them.

I've ordered the black "Pro" (small bumps) Eazi-Grips this morning. Not exactly scientific, but I dragged them each across my leathers with a little pressure and the Pro seemed to grip the best.


EDIT: I did email the guy from the US on the svrider forum who was making tank grips - unfortunately he's no longer making them and has no plans to start again.

That's what I found having used them both on the bike. I prefer the slightly more subtle look of the Pro too.

You'll be passing through my old haunt then ... Launceston... or Lanson if you're a local.
