Never Ridden with them So dunno what its like without them...My Buddy rides with them though and he seems to like them.

Although he did say that hig Leather one peice was starting to rub off and could possibly cause a tear from riding with the Stomgrip.

I racked myself when I took them off for a little bit.

Some of the finish (the glossy stuff) has rubbed off of the inside of the knees of my leathers where they contact the Stompgrip. I doubt the protective qualities are harmed.

I'm riding, not going to a fashion show.

wouldn't it be better to use the one brand that is removable and reuse able?

I forgot what they are called but not hard to find. They are a little less agressive but sound like still a good part to have. Who knows you may need to repaint that tank or switch bikes.

For the record,Stompgrips are reusable...I took mine off before painting and I plan to put them back on.

I've never had a slippage issue, so I dont use them.

Im with Trip on this one, I have friends who swear by them, but I cling plenty well without, whether in leathers or in jeans. The honda I am currently "sitting" for a buddy has them, and I actually found them uncomfortable, but now I dont notice them, nor do they affect my riding in anyway...

To be honest,I didn't think I did either until I used them...now I can't live with out them! Besides,I don't think that leather pants slip as much as denim.
