I'd like to get some Stompgrips for my new bike, just wondered if anyone has any recommendations of where to buy them from?

Not sure about buying them from EBay in case they are some knock off copies!

Yeh you might get bubblewrap from a doggy eBay seller. Still, it'd give you something to do at traffic lights smash

Stomp grips are not needed on the road, just MTFU and grip your knees tighter to the tank.....discuss

I found them very helpful on my old 600, they covered the fact the paint had been scuffed on the tank from all the knee gripping action and made things easier so less tired after journeys, no bad thing in my opinion.

Id stick them on my fireblade but I don't want to ruin its good looks.

Stomp grips eat leathers, go techspec.

Got mine off ebay. Pretty sure they're genuine. I was really, really careful fitting them, took ages to get it spot on. Haven't fooked my leathers at all.

Thread I started before I fitted mine:

They don't half come in handy when you have to brake hard for traffic lights.

It's a small outlay to retain the ability to father children.

I've managed that OJK without stomp grips, hell I even became a father after leaving a bks sized dent in the tank of my RD500 after wheeling into the back of a car nearly 30 years ago.

Try riding a standard R1100S in textiles. The seat is slippery and the tank isn't actually the tank. Squeeze your knees together and it just pushes the fairing in. Put some techspec pads on and no more sliding around.
