Hmm, I never thought about it helping with sliding forward. Interesting. I'll probably pick up a set sometime soon.

It may be just the angle, but in the first picture it almost looks like there's Armor-all on your tires?

Am I wrong to assume they help in the carving department as well? I have seen people on other sites praise them, but I usually take the opinions of other forums with a grain of salt.

In the first picture the wheel seems to be in the shade. I can promise that I didn't put Armor All on the tires.

Depends, do you slide around on the seat a lot or have trouble gripping the tank with your legs. If you don't have any problems with that, then you don't need them. If you have problems, you need them.

I have had problems gripping the tank with my legs, but I can't imagine people that wouldn't. Althought I suppose leathers probably helps with grip.

Leather doesn't help with the grip on the tank. I slid just as much in leathers as I did in jeans. Since I put my stomp grips on I haven't had a visit from the nutcracker.

Nice Job. I got the cheap ones that you cut yourself. They turned out like this, but for a primarily track bike they are still good. Plus they do their job.
