Title: Plastic grippy things?
Post by: Fat_Nate on February 19, 2005, 02:30:09 PM
Hey,

I've seen some bikes with sheets of grippy or nubby plastic on the side of the tank to help keep the rider on board when hanging off -- they're used on the California Superbike bikes, too.  Anyone know what are they called and who makes them?  Thanks,

Nate

Stomp PADS

and they're the bomb! Absolutely night and day difference in braking and hanging off.

Stomp pads were originally used in snowboarding, and have found a use as a "rider aid". They shouldn't harm your leathers.

Please DO NOT use Skateboarding Grip tape, which is similar to sand paper and can wreck the Keprotec on the inside of your leathers.

man, good post, i was just about to post the same question... need those stomp pads to eliminate steering input when braking hard for the chicane @ daytona.

I just did a google on it and it seems that motorcycle superstore is the only guys that carry it. Got a problem though, they have 15 different models all withing a price range of $30-$36... not sure which part number to get???? I ride a cbr600rr, any suggestions?

is this stuff sold by the square foot or inch?

Will anyone sell this stuff @ daytona?

Stomp Pads and Stomp Grip seem to be 2 different products.

Stomp Grip seems to be oriented toward dirt bikes:

Found some listings for Stomp pads on eBay too.

HandicappedRacer at A & J Cycle Performance definitely has the lowest price on the Stomp Pads.  I've ordered a generic sized pad from him.

Call him at 301-516-4144.
