Now I feel like I have plenty of room to stretch out. My only gripe so far was that I was always sliding around the tank. It feels a lot smoother than the Ninjette's was so no matter how hard I squeeze the tank I always seemed to slide up.

I added a set of Tech-spec Snake skin grip pads yesterday, so I'll take it for a ride tonight now that the adhesive should have settled in (they recommend waiting 12 hours).
I have the same issue. With my riding pants on, it's not too bad but still takes a ton of leg power not to slide!

Curious to see how you like the snake skin grip pads. keep us updated!
