I WOULD PUT A DAMPNER ON IT(ITS JUST SAFER THAT WAY) I HAVE PUT IT DOWN HARD AND BROKE THE RESIVOIR BRAKET, SO I JUST MADE ONE THAT ANGLES IN A LITTLE FARTHER. HERE CHECK IT OUT, USUALLY HAVE NO PROBLEMS. I AM 5'6"AND 140 LBS.put a peice of pipe insulating foam across the top of your windscreen, it makes it easier on the back of your legs.grip tape on the tank until it dents is a good idea too, i looped one when i was first learning because i fell off.

 

what kind of grip tape?i got material on my bike so i dont think it will work,should i just smash the tank?i dont slip in my jeans,but when i have my leathers pants on i slide all aorund,what should i do?

 

and where do i get some grip tape?i think im gonna rip off my material on the tank and just leave it like that

 

ever seen herculiner? truck bed liner. acetone the top of your tank then paint that on. it doesn't look bad either. you'll stick like a **** to that!

 

Go to Home Depot. They sell 3M grip tape. It's meant for ladder steps. There's the black kind that is like sandpaper or grey thats a rough vinyl texture. I use the grey kind. It's in a roll and you can buy as much as you need. It has an adhesive backing. I wouln't do a highchair without it. Or try fur.

 

I just sit right on the tank.. it's not dented in and theres nothing there and I've never had a problem
