John Kerr's previous thread reminded me of this article

they seem to have a lot of good articles....

+1 (on the side bar) tank grip pads, anyone have one that works for our bike? Now I'm wearing proper riding pants, my knees just won't grab the tank like my jeans did (I'm sure if I had leather I wouldn't have this problem, just I have the ballistic nylon...)

I bought the Stomp Grip Universal Racer Oval grips. They work great. I can't believe I used to ride without them. Only thing is I wish they had black in stock when I bought them. Clear just doesn't look as good. You can see every little flaw in the adhesive. I don't care how well you put them on (because it's actually quite a pain in the ass to be honest) you end up with some small imperfections in the adhesive and it's visible through the clear.

I just saw the Stomp Grip specific for our bike on ebay.... and by the picture it looked correct. But I have never used anything like it before.... it's gotta be better than slick metal and plastic.
