It's been two years since I bought the pads for my 2008 KLR (snakeskin) and they are still mint - Excellent purchase - As you may already know, I have seen rain, water, and mud on my bike. Excellent product, and the control you get by using your legs while standing is awesome. On my BMW K1300S I have a set of similar rims.

There have been a few nights that were below freezing on the bike, but no signs of it coming undone. We are only giving these grips 4 stars due to their high price. If I looked into some DIY options for my KLR, I might have saved a lot of money. In terms of performance, they do what they are advertised to do, but they do not In any case, for $65 I'm not thrilled to find that one side has a defect. There's one spot on the map that sticks out a bit and kind of bothers me. I love this.
It has been a great experience for me! I am now more in control of my bike when I am on technical or difficult terrain. I feel less arm strain and ride better because it helps reduce arm strain. As well as looking good, they are well made. It has just the right amount of thickness to provide.
They lived up to the reviews, and I could not be happier. A 150 mile off-road ride was the highlight of my day It makes a huge difference when you have these on the road! Reducing fatigue in both the legs and the Was wrong to assume it would make much of a difference. The price tag is a little high, but the quality is worth the price.
It is just that the feel of hard steel is not appealing to me any more at the age of 60. It would be good if more bikes had these parts.
Everyone else has said these are good tank grips and they do their intended job well, however, be aware that if you leave your bike in the sun, you'll begin to notice residue on the inside of your pants due to the pads. Compared to other saddles, they are great for performance with enough surface area to keep you connected to your bike whenever you are moving around.
My experience with the tank grips has been quite pleasant. I wasn't expecting much but I am very pleased with how they feel and maneuver. As far as I can tell, finding a better grip with your knees reduces your arm stress slightly. Note that in the picture there appears to be a third piece on top of the tank, but it only had two pieces, one for each side. I cleaned the tank with Windex first, then used a hair dryer to warm up the metal before applying it. The issue is not an issue.
I can't believe I waited so long to install them. It definitely gets you a sense of control when you are riding off-road and cornering on the street. These are definitely worth checking out.
These tank grips were applied to a KLR650 and are of very high quality. I like how easy it is to apply, and it looks great. The kneeling position allows you to better grip the tank with your knees, while also preventing swirls/scuff marks from your knees on the paint.
