Tank grips

Post by Kwacky »

Any recommendations?

I hear that the Techspec stuff is supposed to be decent

I love my techspec tank grips. They just make gripping the tank so much easier when braking. You don't realise how good they are until you go for the brakes on a bike without them and your balls suddenly fly towards the tank (swear)

I've got the Techspecs on my track 675, I find them a big improvement over the std tank, it increases the leverage you can apply leaning off the bike in a corner, also good under braking. They are a bit more abrasive on my leathers, but only to the point of rubbing the colour off the insides of the knees. They're a good addition if you think you don't feel secure on the bike at times.

I noticed it more after the weekend. I reckon I put too much wax on the tank :)

Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Tank grips and a quickshifter are the two mods I would want on any road bike I owned from here on in. Didn't think I'd particularly like/need either till I tried them!
