Member Contributer sportrider Posted January 3, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted January 3, 2008 I used the Universal kit -- no modifications. Just be sure to apply on a clean surface. Also, I use a hairdryer to heat the glue as I install. Burns my fingertips, but the install lasts. Good luck. :huh: 100_2797.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Good looking job. Do they really make a difference? I'm a big hugger of the tank with my knees. You put a super wax job on the tank and it doesn't do a lot of good. Just curious - do you wax the asphalt color bikes or just hit them with Mother's Back to Black or what? BTW, I live in the part of GA where primer is considered an acceptable car color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I used the universal on an 03 VFR and had great results as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've got a 5th gen and am looking at getting Stomp Grips or something similar. Not interested in racing or track days, but would like a better grip on the tank. I most often ride in a 'stich, but wear other textiles and full leathers as well, in case gear is a consideration when selecting material or brand. Any 5th gen owners care to share their experiences with this type of product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some other products that give grip too, Ice (perhaps made by Tech-Spec) is but one example, but Stomps are aggressive and work well for me. On the asphalt, no wax at all. Just wash and wipe dry -- keeps the "flat" finish flat. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer roadpupp Posted January 3, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted January 3, 2008 Make sure you prep the surface with alcohol or some other oil remover and use a hairdryer. My track bike grips fell off after about 6 weeks! I just slapped them on at a Keith Code track day. Big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
