Before you have the next track day, you may want to consider some of these. They are supposed to be really good for hard ridining in the twisties!
So, when I went to Road America with it on the tank I was totally shocked. You can feel the outside leg gripping the tank better. It was much easier to hang off the bike and the steering seemed almost too quick. I had to adjust my turn in points and pressure on the tank to turn the bike in with less force. On the straight-aways, there was a lot less pressure when braking time came around. Just tighten your grip on the tank with your knees and the grip allows less pressure on your wrists. This also stops unwanted bar inputs while braking.
All in all, I would rate StompGrip a must buy for anyone going to a track day and a very nice to have for the street. For the cost of it, this mod gives you a great return on a small investment.
You can contact the good folks at Stomp Design through their website, http://www.stompdesign.com or buy them at their many distributors.
PS, you can put the knobby ones that you see on the back of the tank, on the passenger seat for your girlfriend. She will want to ride all the time after that!
