I installed a set of these tank grips a couple weeks ago and really like them!

Very timely posting. I've been wanting to get something like this for better grip when I brake. I particularly felt the need right after waxing my tank and--really stupid :blink: --Armor All'ing my seat. I was slippin' and slidin'!

Thanks for the referral.

+1- Great grip but the corners have a tendency to pull up. What is the best way to stick them back down?

I guess one question is, how are they mounted? Magnetic? Are they permanent? Jb

No, some sort of adhesive.

650cent, I haven't had this happen yet. Have you asked Dean?

Any thoughts on "Snake Skin" versus "High Fusion" finishes??

I saw something similar on Tinker's FJR. Nice stuff and a good idea. Now, if I wasn't leaning toward the Carbon Fiber stuff from Geelong......

I asked Dean about this and he recommended the Snake Skin for FJR riders since we tend to ride, ahem, a bit more aggressively than cruisers.

I should also mention that Dean has just donated 2 sets of Gripster Tank Grips, 2 50% off coupons for the grips, and a couple of his company's t-shirts for our SW-FOG raffle next May. Thanks Dean!

Is that a group buy I smell cooking?

 

[James Burleigh]

I'm in...

 

[boogahboogah]

I bought the 'ICE' product first, because I was afraid that the gripster might be too 'grippy' or some such... Doh... Ended up removing the ICE (much lower friction than the GRIPSTER) & replacing it with Gripster. I like it alot & appreciate the ability it gives me to grip the tank when necessary... No connection to the dealer, YMMV, etc etc

Group buy,you say?I'm all in!

Got them today. Can't wait to try them. I am in the habit of gripping the tank whenever it gets technical so this should be just the ticket.

Boogahboogah,

I see you have some mast shrouds in your picture. Beach cat? We used to race Hobies (16s, 18 Magnum). Then a F-24 MKI for 9 years. Now a F-31 UC (as pictured in the avatar).

Bill, did you get this worked out? i just got off the phone with Dean @ techspec, he said you should call him at 916-941-6606 if you have any problems with adhesion. Dean said they are very customer oriented, and want people to be happy with their product.

He is sending me a sample package to see if I want snake skin, or the fusion.
