R&G Racing Tank Grip Set, Clear - RGEZRG007CL
We call these the "Angry Guppy" tank pads becuase they look like guppies, and, well, they tend to make customers who don't read this ad angry.
When R&G designed these tank pads they left a cutout in the leading edge of the pad (the guppies mouth) that was meant to leave an OEM decal on '21 Spec Tuono V4 1100 Factory exposed. This was a neat gesture by R&G, but the guppy mouth opening was only complimentary to that colorway.
So here we're saying it again: If you have a bike other than a '21 Spec Tuono V4 1100 Factory, these pads will look pretty weird on your once installed as can be seen in this photo and this photo.
Of course you can still cut the guppy mouth (leading edge cutout) off of this pad and make it look great (as illustrated by this photo), but at this price, we can't blame customers who do not want to modify something they just bought.
Okay, now back to the regular ad text:
These grippy pads are cut to match the shape of your tank and provide a reliable anchor point for aggressive braking, cornering and acceleration.
These grips help you grasp your tank, especially when leaned over.
The synthetic rubber has a soft yet durable texture that will not tear up year gear and attaches to your tank with a pre-applied paint friendly adhesive. Just peel off the backing, stick them to your tank and you're ready to rip.
Features:
- Motorcycle specific fitment
- Improved handling & braking performance
- Protects paint from scratches and abrasions
- Low-profile synthetic conforms to the natural tank shape
- Grippy enough to hold your position without tearing up your gear
- Strong adhesive backing stays put without harming the paint
- Promotes proper riding posture, effectively reducing fatigue
- Provides a reliable holding point for hanging off the bike through corners
- Simple & easy to install
What's In The Box: 1 x left & 1 x right side tank grips
* with Installation instructions
*Please note: These pads will come with 25mm diameter stick on R&G emblems.
*Please note: The fuel tank on your bike is made from a polymer material that takes a long time to finish offgassing from the manufacturing process. This means that if you put tank guards on a very new motorcycle, the adhesive is less likely to stick properly. As a guideline, we recommend you not install tank guards/pads until your build date (build date label seen in this photo) is at least 12 months ago (1 full year).
