These Stomp Design tank panels are the shizzle (LoL does anybody say "shizzle" anymore ?!?!?!?!)
They have a kit now for the 6th gen VFR (see Dave's email below)
Couple of my riding buddies have them on their Kaw's and Gixxer's.
I want a kit for my 2001 !
We need everyone with a 5th gen VFR who thinks they will buy a kit to email Dave so that he'll know there is market demand for them. (see Dave's email below)
Anyone in the HB area with a 5th gen that wants to go by and let them measure your bike to make the templates I bet you can get a free kit ! Send email to Dave if you are willing to do that.
Thanks!

I've had an F4i kit on my '02 for about a year now. I love it. Not the most attractive addition to my bike, but I can drag knees in the turns with no hands on the bars (J/K).

It's like they say around here. It doesn't exist without pictures!!!! LOL
Yep, that's what it sounds like. I just ordered the kit (along with a fancy Shoei helmet - yay! biggrin.gif ). I'll post up how the kit fits on my '99 when it arrives.
The friendly man in brown delivered presents to me yesterday, including the stomp grip kit I ordered per Dave's suggestion (for an '03 954). I took a few pics of the install and finished product - see below. I'm really happy with them. They're inconspicuous (to the extent something that size could ever by inconspicuous), and riding with them is really great.
I've had them out for a ~2hr ride (my Reg/Rec crapped out angry.gif ).
The installation was easy, if finicky. I don't have a hairdryer or heat gun, so I left them in the sun for a bit before putting them on. Cleaned the sides of the tank with alcohol before applying. Getting them on is just a matter of taking it a little at time and bing patient. I sketched a template based on the first side and flipped it to match locations. I think these guys are worth every penny. Fit isn't perfect, but it's good enough got me.
Interestingly,the universal Stompgrip kit I bought earlier only came with one sheet - enough for one side of the bike. Given that the one universal sheet was $35.00 and the 954 kit ran $35.99, I'd go for a precut kit just for the value. I suppose someone more picky then me might trim them to match a bit better. Anyways - gallery is below.
