A friend of mine is riding a 2012 R1, and man, that tank is skinny and has basically no lip to it. Compared to my 2011 R6, with an awesome lipped tank for great leg contact, I'm surprised. I've personally found poor leg contact to be a pretty big problem with feeling comfortable hanging off without tension, so I wanted to see what we could do about it. There are already tank grips on it, but the shape is just so poor IMO.
What are some solutions?
We've tried Monkey Gripps as I've used em before, but apparently the mould for that specific bike has broken so making new ones is not possible.
Kustom Cockpits don't make anything for that model.
Every tank cover/extender I can find is for 2015+ for some reason
Any other options? Any R1 riders from that era who have played around with ergos for the tank? Would love advice and/or references/images etc.
Thanks
