Talking Now Im thinking about Stomp Grips

Its cheap, and could save my balls. The reviews I have read also lead me to believe that this is a worth while investment as far body positioning goes. Thoughts? And of course I can't figure out whether I would go black or clear. I don't mind being tedious and keep airbubbles out, but I sort of think the black could look good on my black/red theme. And an additional note, think I am going to pull the GSXR stickers off when I get home. Keep it black/red with just the suzuki on the bottom.

Note: My last day of work in Alaska and I am bored as hell.

Some pictures to help with your opinions.

I wouldn't say that I am leaning over nearly enough to have issues but when riding around town with stop and go traffic, I seem to get reamed up on the tank enough times to crush the balls and work in a wedgie.

Hehe, I like it off. Not only was it worth 1 mph in the 1/4 but when you remove the spoil and the GT bumper people start to think your driving a v6.

Here's mine with Stomp Grip if you're curious about how the clear looks.

Hmm, I never thought about it helping with sliding forward. Interesting. I'll probably pick up a set sometime soon.

It may be just the angle, but in the first picture it almost looks like there's Armor-all on your tires?

Am I wrong to assume they help in the carving department as well? I have seen people on other sites praise them, but I usually take the opinions of other forums with a grain of salt.

In the first picture the wheel seems to be in the shade. I can promise that I didn't put Armor All on the tires.

Depends, do you slide around on the seat a lot or have trouble gripping the tank with your legs. If you don't have any problems with that, then you don't need them. If you have problems, you need them.

I have had problems gripping the tank with my legs, but I can't imagine people that wouldn't. Althought I suppose leathers probably helps with grip.

Leather doesn't help with the grip on the tank. I slid just as much in leathers as I did in jeans. Since I put my stomp grips on I haven't had a visit from the nutcracker.
