Stompgrip Icon Traction Pads Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2017-2023) – Part No. 55-14-0143

Engineered from premium materials and bonded with genuine 3M adhesive, the Stompgrip Icon Traction Pads for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2017–2023) deliver a precise, factory-quality fit that protects your tank and sharpens rider-to-machine connection without the aggressive texture of a track-oriented pad. The Icon design is softer and more comfortable than the classic Volcano pattern, yet still provides approximately 70–75% of the grip — a compelling balance for the road-focused GSX-R rider who values finesse over brute abrasion.

Key Features

• Icon surface pattern delivers approximately 70–75% of the grip of the Volcano design with noticeably greater riding comfort
• Premium 3M adhesive holds the pads firmly in position and removes cleanly without leaving residue on your paintwork or wrap
• Direct tank protection against environmental exposure, abrasion and everyday contact damage
• Improved body stability under braking, acceleration and cornering reduces unwanted rider movement on the motorcycle
• Reduced strain on wrists and forearm muscles through enhanced contact between rider and machine
• Available in transparent, black or hybrid finish — transparent preserves full visibility of your factory colour or custom livery
• CNC-precision cut for an exact fit on the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2017–2023 with no trimming required

Build Quality and Materials

Where cheaper tank pads rely on generic adhesive that can lift at the edges or mark a finish on removal, Stompgrip specify genuine 3M backing across the entire pad. The material itself is a purpose-formulated thermoplastic elastomer: grippy enough to lock your knees into the tank through a fast corner, yet supple enough that it will not abrade riding suit leather or textile during extended stints in the saddle. The Icon surface geometry — a subtler, lower-profile pattern compared to the aggressive Volcano cone texture — is the signature choice for riders who want their machine to look understated and purposeful rather than race-prepared.

Performance on Road and Track

By anchoring the rider more securely to the GSX-R 1000's tank, the Icon Traction Pads allow you to use your legs and core to absorb the forces of hard braking and acceleration, rather than hanging off the bars. The result is lighter, more sensitive handlebar inputs, a reduction in arm-pump on longer spirited rides, and more confidence through fast directional changes. Riders who regularly commute as well as head to a trackday will appreciate that the Icon design is comfortable enough for daily use, eliminating the need to swap pads between uses.

Colour Options

The transparent variant is ideal for GSX-R 1000 owners who have invested in a custom wrap or OEM special-edition paint — the pads protect without obscuring. The black variant sharpens the already aggressive styling of the GSX-R 1000's bodywork and suits riders who prefer a monochrome or darkened aesthetic. The hybrid option combines both materials in a single set for those who want tailored coverage.

Fitment and Compatibility

These pads are precision-cut exclusively for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000, covering all model years from 2017 through to 2023. No modification or trimming is required for installation — the 3M backing allows straightforward self-adhesive application to a clean, degreased tank surface.
