Tech Spec Tank Grip
The fit and finish of the product is real nice, it definitely adds more grip and stability when riding the bike. I noticed there was less pain in my wrists after applying this product to the motorcycle. However, there is only one drawback and one thing that I can complain about. That is, this product does not want to stay glued to the bike. I have used several tech spec products in the past, so I know how to apply them but I think it is the lines on the Panigale which makes it separate from the tank. I still recommend the grip pads as they are the best on the market in my opinion.

No more sore wrists!
I put about 5000 miles on my 899 before I bought these, and I wish I hadn't waited. Cons: getting everything lined up pretty is a hassle. Garage was 76F when I installed (supposed to be 80+), and I have a few small adhesion issues. Pros: I rode 350 miles the very next day, and it was awesome. the snake skins made it a lot easier to support my weight with my legs instead of my wrists. They're more comfortable than the Stomp Grips on my track bike (I wear jeans on the street), but still give great support, and I like the look. I would've given them 5 stars if I had more success getting the edges to stay down. I'll probably need to replace these in a year or two, and I'm hoping I don't get any grit wearing the paint at the edges. Overall though, they do exactly what they promised, and I love having them installed.
