Very interested, I've been considering stompgrips for a while but lets be honest, they look like ass. These are a bit more obvious but they could look good, so if they work then that's a win win. I do like their honesty, they just say outright that some of their products aren't good enough for really hard riding.

 

I wanted to give them a try as they are a site sponsor. The clear Stomp Grips dont appeal to me, but the black maybe - after reading write ups and opinions on their backing tape and ease of install/removal I decided on trying the TS's.

 

Here is one thing I can tell you about them....they will melt if you leave a heatgun pointed at them for too long!

Pics and write up tomorrow!

 

interested to see the pics and write up!

you put a heatgun on anything too long it melts.

Just asked my dirtbike graphics.

 

I've had them for about a year on my bike, they're quite good, but for 1st gen people like me you have to cut your own so they don't look as pretty as they probably should.

the thing I like about them is that they're not annoyingly grippy, I've ridden on a bike with stomp grips and jeans and they tend to grab at your thighs too much, the tech spec grips are a good balance and they don't look too shabby. (they also have excellent customer service)

 

^^They're coming out with a pattern for the first gen probably late this month according to when I talked to Dean a week or so ago. I ordered the general sheet for my first gen too though, it was easy enough to cut them....

 

As soon as I get my bloody camera back I will update this post. :dontknow:

i had a techspec in my previous track bike... and it worked pretty well... my bike had a black tank so you couldnt really see it... now i have a black stomp pad on my sv...
here's how they look...

Was that the "snake skin" or the "high fusion"?

 

snake skin...

 

Hmm, the black stompgrip is really nice- I'd never heard of that til this thread.

 

Yeah, I thought about them but am concerned about the adhesive (mentioned in another thread similar to this). I did get my camera back, so I will get this finished up tonight. Promise.

 

Hurry up will ya! I'm within an inch of ordering...

 

Done, sorry for the delay!

 

Northwind, did you ever wind up ordering a set?


As far as a ride report in general, for the money these seem to work as advertised. I do ride in jeans so by nature of the loose fit I do still move around a bit but there is definitely more control. Harsh braking and corner exit power wheelies dont see as much sliding back to front as I did without them.

Only note I would make is that I mightve placed them a little higher up, when I placed them I went off the lower edge of the tank for reference and after riding a bit it seems that I could use more of the TS material up near the point closer to my knees on the wider part of the tank.

 

If you bought the Techspec, just move it. The adhesive is removable and reusable. I did the same thing and they stuck just as good the second time.

Nah, I'm still putting off my rebuild til "a couple of months away" where it's been for 2 years ;D

 

I used Stomp all summer, so I thought I would chime in.

It's not difficult to install, you just need to take your time to really get all the air bubbles out. In jeans it's still comfortable, but anything thinner and you might get jabbed a little. I put clear stuff on my K7 as it doubled as a trackbike/street. For the track, I wouldn't use anything else - the way it grips the leathers is absolutely fantastic. This year I have a track-dedicated SV that I am putting stomp on, so I will be putting snakeskin Tech-spec on my street bike.

I hear the stomp is a PITA to remove, but we'll see for sure. I'm excited to try the tech-spec on the streetbike though, it sounds like a great compromise between grip & comfort.

Oh ... stomp is UGLY AS F#CK. That's another reason why I am looking at Tech-spec ;D
