Can I use skate grip tape or stomp grip on this tank
Can I put like skate grip tape or stomp grip on my tank without having to dent it in..I sit on the tank and try to clutch it up but just slip off...
I have a few pics..The way my tank is it would have to go around the fuel door and behind it..
What do you guys think? I dont want it to look sloppy..Also if it looks like **** I dont want to ruin the paint.

skate board grip tape will rip your pants and scratch the hell out of your tank cause the sand stuff come off ..
i have seen some rubber coated grip tape that will still rip your pants but probably wont scratch your tank , stomp grip would probably be better if you dont want to dent your tank but to be honest your *** will probably end up denting it just from coming down from a wheelie ..

Re: Can I use skate grip tape or stomp grip on this tank
all will work, i use grip tape from hardware stores that suppose to be used for steps. which gives a little more grip then skate bord tape, but with a bike like that you should get a beater bike. stunt bikes are fairly cheep, and on top of that like omr said with hc's and spreaders you'll end up messin up the tank. and a tank like that normally has to be fabricated, i havent seen anyone who has dented a tank like that.
dent...
