Hi Presson, I'm really interested by your tank grips. Do you have any link or brand? Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any link or brand? Thank you very much Those are from Stompgrip. I had them and pulled them off. They don't provide much grip and the clear ones are hard to get rid of the air bubbles that are created during install. I've found universal grips from other manufacturers to work better.

Member Contributer Presson Posted August 26, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted August 26, 2023 Hi Brolivier. Thanks to Oregonian for stepping in although I don't completely agree. The pads are Stompgrip and are the 8 Gen specific version. They come in several textures. The Volcano version has quite large conical studs that grip really well on leathers. I've used them on all my bikes and found them excellent for locking on. The other version called Icon is much less pronounced and lower grip. As for fitting, it's a case of good prep; warming the pad with a hairdryer before fitting and rolling it on. That way air bubbles are minimised. I think they are widely available, but I am in the UK. Presumably you can get them in the France. My supplier link is here (ignore that it refers to02-07 as it actually goes to the 8Gen version). Hope that helps https://reactiveparts.com/stompgrip-honda-02-07-vfr-streetbike-kit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the icon ones on my VFR and found them to have zero grip. I've had volcano on other bikes and they worked great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
