That said, I like the clear ones! And the smaller ones like Dim's are super classy lookin!
you have normal sized legs on a midget body... and you weigh what 90lbs soak and wet in your lethers... (which I wouldn't mind seeing btw ) of course you don't slide much...

I know I felt very "loose" when at the dragon in my leather teknic pants... didn't like the feeling at all...

As usual thank you for everyones input. The pictures look great and I think the clear ones look excellent. I am also glad to see they are doing a good job of keeping the jewels off the tank.

I may go with black just to be a little different, and if I don't like it I can always get clear for another 40 bucks.

Very true! I don't know if this will work but I had a crazy idea of getting vinyl and tracing out the stompgrip pattern and putting that on my tank first and then the clear stompgrip. If you don't like it,you should be able to peel the SG off,the vinyl off and then put the SG back on. Just an idea....

Thats a great idea Tig, I may just do that. I am placing my order right now which means stuff should be arriving in Atlanta shortly after I get home. Sweet god I love Alaska, but damn I miss civilization.

Yeah,it's an idea I've kicked around for a while... I even mentioned it to the stompgrip people the last time I talked to them.

I think black would look great on his bike too! My only concern is it wouldn't follow the design of the existing paint job.

id guess they blew u off as not cost efficient, since with the clear u automatically get the bike color anyway. still a gd idea for some added flair...


his bike is black and red, black goes perfect to me anyway
