Traction Pads?

mlj2093 · March 9th, 2013, 08:45 AM

Are there any brands of traction pads that anyone would recommend? I like the ones that @Jiggles has on his K1300 but I don't know brand or any info at all really.

Kotex makes the best pads. I think they are called maxi-pads but traction pads might be another name. I'm pretty sure this is what Jigglette uses.

I'm impressed by your knowledge of maxi-pads. Maybe Jiggles isn't the only one using them? Not quite what I was looking for.

They also make them with wings (for faster riders).

What is a traction pad?

Like what goes on the sides of the tank to increase the grip of the knee?

Tank grips

Me either but googling tank grips is a good start

mlj2093 · March 9th, 2013, 11:44 AM

Ah. I figured I had it wrong. Thanks!

They're old sponsors of mine and good honest guys to work with. I've never really thought my street bike could benefit from tank drip pads but it was essential on the Superbikes.

You can also make your own with a tube of silicone from Home Depot, costs about $5. I did that on my first 250

Their surface offers more grip than Tech Spec.
