| I've seen some stuff (I think it's called "Stomp") that's like your grannies non-slip shower mat that you can apply to the sides of your tank or other strategic bits.
The CSS usually have some in their shop and Butch has some on his 749R. I sat on this bike at the BMF and the stuff enables you to grip the tank like a limpet with your knees.
It doesn't look pretty but it works, then you can take all the braking force by gripping the tank rather than putting all your weight on your wrists |
