This three piece kit we have here from Techspec includes side grip panels for both right and left sides of the tank. And then we have a little center panel that goes right down the middle of the tank. Why do you put this on your bike? This is meant to help you get more grip to interact between your riding pants, or if you're on the racetrack a race suit, and your legs. It allows you to use your legs more so you can take pressure off your hands, and that's really key. One of the most important aspects of riding is hand pressure. The tighter you are on the bars, the worse the motorcycle handles. You really have to get as much weight as possible off the hand controls in order to get your bike dialed and improve your riding. These tank grips go a long way towards doing that.
NOTE: The Snake Skin & X-Line kits both include a center tank protector.
Snake Skin Tank Grip:
TechSpec's Snake Skin "RELEASABLE" Synthetic Rubber measures @ .125" thick. You will feel the difference within the first 50ft of your ride, improving the relationship between you and your machine! Squeeze it and feel what a solid seat position is like. Will also increase in comfort, assist's in reduction of vibration, and improving distribution of weight.
X-Line 2 Tank Grip:
TechSpec's X-Line 2 is a thin (.045"), medium durometer rubber skin with a raised dot pattern. The material is thin, lightweight, and has a high coefficient of friction comparable to that of TechSpec's original XLine material, yet less expensive and more durable!
