Author Message   Rwcfrank Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2012 - 01:50 am:        Can anyone report on the longevity and durability of the Tech Spec frame "covers" grips?   Timmytime Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2012 - 02:10 am:        Timmy time here , I put them on my xb12xt in may ish of 2008 I think it was money very well spent !!! They give great grip for aggressive riding they help cut down on the heat transfer to your right leg / inner thigh , for $ 65.00 dollars and 30,000 miles later very little ware - my indorsement that they are needed on every Buell .   Darth_villar Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2012 - 03:30 am:        I've had mine for a little over 20,000 miles. Holding up great, no problems. Would definitely recommend them.   Britchri10 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2012 - 07:08 am:        Had mine for just less than a year. The frame covers are great & seems durable, the tank pads - not so much. I removed the tank covers as they were losing adhesion & not looking good. Chris C   Fordhotline Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2012 - 02:21 pm:        Had mine for over a year and about 20K. Holding up great!   Froggy Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2012 - 02:39 pm:        I have it on my 1125CR, I noticed no difference in anything. Leg heat is the same, ability to hold onto the bike is the same, cosmetically it is the same, and I am out $60. Not worth it in my opinion.   Britchri10 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2012 - 04:21 pm:        I didn't notice any change in the heat on my legs & I don't ride it in such as way as I need to grip the bike tightly w/my thighs. However, they did cover up some unsightly marks on the frame. So, I pleased with mine from an aesthetic/cosmetic POV. Chris C   Harleywern Posted on Friday, August 10, 2012 - 02:15 am:        Have them for the last 3 years and still like them. Got them mainly to cover some spots on the frame.   Argentcorvid Posted on Friday, August 10, 2012 - 07:57 am:        I've had mine for 2 years. The main reason I bought them is my legs felt like they were slipping on the frame when trying to grip; they eliminated that problem. I have both the frame and the airbox pads.
