I've loved the TechSpec Snake Skin on my CBR, but don't really like the look of the black on the red tank.

As an alternative I've been looking at clear Stomp Grips, which blend in much better, but don't have any experience with that brand. Anything to be aware of or any other options I should consider?

I've used stomp grip on my sv650 and r6, works extremely well with leather- bit does wear the finish/color on your pants. No damage though. If you decide to ride in jeans, it can get a little uncomfortable.... Though I'll be putting the stomps on mine :-)

I've had stomp grips on all of my bikes over the years. Never had to be curious about any other brand, they work very well.

One word of caution though, if you get the clear, it will yellow over time (years) so just plan on replacing clear eventually if you care that much.

Had stomp grip on my R1, it trashed the knees of my Alpinestars leathers, there are other less abrasive makes out there, so worth having a look round.

i can't find any that fit the 899

With it being a new model not much on the open market yet, check for the 1199, as far as I'm aware they should fit, but better getting confirmation first.

These are the ones I ordered. Should fit the 899 as well.

Just ordered a set of these from R&G, not seen them before so assume they're fairly new.

Tech Spec makes a set of Panigale tank grip pads also:
