Tech specs tank grip
Put on thetech spec snake skin tank grip today. Fantastic grip. Just perfect. Not too grippy, not too loose. It'd be great for trackday. It comes with the middle part. Tank protector or whatever.
Will post some pics later |

Nice, I'm curious about placement and how that affects the feel of them. I used silicone to make my tank grips but I've been spending some time adjusting the location of them this past week.

I agree! Solid design! And you can't really move them around much, they pretty much fit in only a certain way...

one thing to note is techspec cut theirs at an angle so you have a smooth transition from the pad to your thigh...kinda nice comparing to the straight cut where the sharp angle rubs against you. You can prob cut at an angle too but much more difficult...but I think the TechSpec shape fits real good already.

I have a set too but the tank pad is actually designed in the wrong area. And I told them this too but they refuse to listen.
Your knee actually hooks right above the side seat (see pic attached). |

Mine didn't come with a center bit and I'm not quite sure of the placement - anyone have any more photos?
