Re: grip tape on gas tank

eventually the tank is going to weaken and dent anyways, i rock grip tape and a dented tank, you can snap your spreaders up to balance real fast that way.

hardware store too, about 90 cents a foot for 4 inch wide stuff, you need 2 feet. it holds up better too, it industrial strength ****, the grit wont wear off as quick.

Re: grip tape on gas tank

I like to beat the tank in and use grip tape, seen to many people wreck by sliding off the tank.....

Re: grip tape on gas tank

grip tape wont ruin jeans if you dent the tank(its goin to dent eventially,anyways) and leave a lip on the back and then only put tape on inside of lip.

skate shops will usually give you there scape tape for free if you ask.
