Tank Pad or no
Hi all,
I am kinda new to sportbikes. I have a Black '06 zx14. I am begining to see very light scratches and dulling of the paint on the back side of the tank where I lean on it. The problem is that I don't want to dummy down the looks of mybike with a tank pad. Is there a better way to protect the original look of my bike than a pad? Are there some good pads out there? |
RE: Tank Pad or no
dang, something like a grip pad that was available. Clear.

RE: Tank Pad or no
5 minutes in cyclegear (or cyclegear.com), there's a good selection of all types of tank pads, including completely clear ones.
clear tank pad boom, easy Doesn't fit? cut it. |
RE: Tank Pad or no
I personally like nothing on the tank but thats me.
I have seen bikes with a clear plastic cover on both sides of the tank that protects the paint form your knees wearing the paint. You can't really see it until your up close and if its applied correctly it still looks OK. |

As you might already know, when it comes to opinions you will never get just one answer. Here is mine:
I just installed a Pro-Grip Carbon Fiber on my Candy Fire Red (Metallic Ruby Red) ZZR600. I like the color contrast of the bike's red, chrome, black, and silver. --- "Advice is you ask for when you already know the answer toyour questionbut wish you didn't." - Unknown |

I did not know there was going to be interest in a pic. My fault. Anyway, I actually got the bike yesterday so I do not have a lot of pics yet. Here are two that I took prior to taking the bike home from Tampa to Jacksonville that show the tank pad just a little.

Check out this product I have not heard any reviews yet but one of the reps came by my shop the other day and it looks interesting. |

For some odd reason, I am a fan of the tank bra...I know it's as goofy as putting a bra on a car, but I like the look for some stupid reason. I had one on my last bike...I actually just ordered one, so that's my $.02...
