You should be able to find it in the KTM hardparts catalog

That looks like the KTM hard parts grip tape. It's only offered in black or orange though. Maybe the 2015 catalog will offer it in blue. Having gone through a bunch of that stuff though, plan on changing it every ride or two. I can put it on and in a ride (literally a moto) I can have it worn through to the frame. I went to the plastic style frame guards. They're holding up ok, but look kind of ratty too since your boots pull the top layer of plastic off. I'm still searching for a decent alternative. Once I find one I'll let everyone know.

3 rides max. If it was like 4 sets for $20, that would be worth it. Kinda crazy to me that they sell it.

Honestly guys don't use the KTM frame tape. I have to put it on every weekend. It only last 1 race day. Try skateboard tape cuz it's at least twice as thick as the paper thin KTM stuff. I actually trimmed up the stock plastic guards and am going to run those on my 15 250SX.

Hey digger you have any pics of the guards trimmed up? That's what I plan on doing with some new orange frame guards I bought. Left side looks good as is but exhaust is just too bulky

I just bought nihilios and they sent me wrong color black and wanted me to pay for shipping to ship back and charge me 8% restock fee to get the grey tape I ordered!

What is the best grip tape? Where can I order some good quality grip tape?

I appreciate the offer, but Digger has me convinced not to use that shit now. Even though I think it makes the bike look better.

I think the frame tape looks WAY better and much cleaner but I really got tired of replacing it almost every Saturday for a Sunday race because it was all shredded and looked like ass :-( The longest it ever lasted for me was 2 wks but that was only a cpl of times.
