Does anyone make a set of Grip Skinz that'll fit an XB12Ss? I've seen them for the regular Lightnings and Firebolts but (like everything else) nothing for the Lightning Long. I got a chance to see what they feel like when I rode the Lean/Slide Bike at California Superbike School, and I wouldn't mind having a set on the Buell. It would prevent that funky discoloration one other user reported on his frame too, I would think...

If you look on the parent company web site they make a universal kit you have to cut yourself.

ironmachine.com sells a kit but I dunno about a long.
I paid 50$ for the kit for mine n when I got it I thought it looked like crap so I never put it on.
The next day I saw the EXACT same material for sale at home depot for like 5$ a square yard.
Poke around one of the bigger hardware stores n you could probably fin the material for WAAAY cheaper than any aftermarket company.

I bought mine from tech-spec... it didn't last too long.. my leathers kept peeling the edges of it up so eventually I just took them off... now they are on my laptop where my wrists rest...ah.. comfy.

I think it might be similiar to skateboard griptape ?
