8 gen "tank pads" homemade

Recommended Posts

Still new here, and browsing the archives. I don't see much love for hydro turf. To me, it's the cat's meow. I bought a roll a while ago and made a bunch for daytonas, as that was my bike of choice at the time. Moving up into the world of comfortable bikes, I still risk scratching the tank, and enjoy squeezing with my knees. So, these aren't perfect, but they'll do. If I can ever get my hands on a decently priced seat, I'll most likely chop off the useless front wings and add a little bit o grip.

I've been told stompgrips at the best for grip. But that they'll eat into your jeans if you're motgatt. The hydroturf works fine for me though. I am debating making them longer, because I only contact basically at my knee caps.

I like it... I was just thinking the other day (coming down a long twisty hill) that I wanted better grip with my knees. I may have to make a set.
