TechSpec Gripster Tank Grip Pads

Has anyone used something this? I was thinking this would make riding a little more comfy from the added benefit of gripping the tank. I saw them on ebar

yea, after a couple of years without anything on the tank, I put a set of TechSpecs on, and I'm much happier when squeezing the tank hard under braking, etc.

I put a set on my new Multistrada 1200S and think they are great, good grip and no scuffing the paint.

+ 3 I have them on my 12S. Allow you to grip the tank with your knees.

Good feed back from many thanks. I will give them a try and report back after testing. But my first problem is actually getting out and riding but work has not allowed that to happen in a few weeks and it looks like it will continue for a few more weeks. Atleast work is busy and not dead.

damn!!
I din't know there were Stomp Grips for the 12S, or I would have preferred them to the TechSpecs. I have the Stomps on my 675 and (I know the tank is quite different) they seem to be grippier/better ... FWIW

(either way, can't go wrong)

Stomp Grips for the 12S,

Not specific for, but their "universal" fits nicely, IMHO.
