Please post up some pics when done. Did you get black ones to go with fairing color?

I have the Techspecs installed on mine, and the fairing piece alone makes it worth it. Amazing feel and so much grip that I don't mind the slippery seat anymore.

HOWEVER...

There might be a flaw with the adhesive on the pads for the actual tank. Despite installing the pads properly, they're already peeling along the top edge. I have contacted Techspec and they're looking into it, and although they mentioned that they'll send me a replacement set, I can't be sure if mine was a one-off, or if the whole batch was affected.

So, if you're looking at the Techspecs, make sure to address this with them prior to ordering, and I'll be sure to update this thread with whatever response I get back from them.

Otherwise, the product is great and the customer service seems to be on the ball.

Cheers!

Just a follow up on this: Techspec is sending me a replacement set. Great customer service, as mentioned.

No word on what the actual problem was, but having used the product in the past, I'm not hesistant to stick with them. I'm thinking that my first set was just a lemon because I've never seen that sort of issue happen before.

How easy is it to remove after some time, As when I sell the bike down the road I don't want the paint messed up. Also, I've got the clear film on, was thinking about putting directly on that but not sure if it'd stick
Thanks

^ I can't really comment on removal of the pads after prolonged usage - because I've never done so myself - but they use a "releasable" adhesive, which means that the pads should be able to be removed and reapplied easily.

I also considered keeping a clear film on the tank, however, decided against this. I don't know what kind of issues, if any, would arise from this, but I figured that the pads were designed to be applied directly to the tank, so that's the route I took.

I'm having the same issue. A bit of peeling on the top edge. Who did you contact, or what email?

just curious, did the installation instructions specify to remove any wax off teh surface before applying the pads?

I don't remember what the instructions say exactly, but yes, the tank should be cleaned with a rubbing alcohol solution of sorts.

I just ordered the BLACK stomp grip, should be here by next weekend.
Hopefully they wont come off..

zvez · Aug 17, 2012

I looked at the stomp grip, but it seems like they really need to offer additional pads (like tech spec) for the upper fairing as that's where the my legs come into most contact in addition to the lower part of the tank.

Yeah, saw they're snake skin @ (tech spec) that also has a fairing cover but at 5'11" with a 32" inseam I've never had an issue rubbing on the fairing as much as the need for more grip on the tank when trying to get a knee down.

Those upper fairing pieces made the biggest difference for me. I would have bought the Techspecs for those alone.

Here's a pic of the kit on my bike.

do you have the center piece they sell it looks like it in the pic

^ I did buy a center piece, although it's not specific to the 1199. If you go on their website, I ended up buying the tank protector version #2.

I can take a pic of it on the bike later today.
