Petrol tank knee pads

It's all down to what you think, personal taste, etc. I got some clear plastic protectors for my Speedmaster after I noticed some minor scuff marks caused by my knees rubbing on the tank. Worth considering 'if' you take the tank pads off, saves scuffing the tank and the effort to remove the marks if you do scuff it.

 

Slimmer rather than old gimmer!

 

Slimmer as well but it's more which you prefer. After all it's your bike

 

For once, Steve, I will agree with you!

 

Go with what you think looks right.

 

Had them on my very first Trumpet, a '54 Thunderbird, put them on my 08 Bonnie, so had to put some on this latest (03) one!
Tank felt too skinny with-out them to me.
I tend to grip the tank with my knees, no knee down stuff on the Bonnie.

 

I personally like to see the lovely painted tank rather than some rubber pads and you shouldnt really need to grip the tank! It's not a sports bike!

 

I liked the pads on my T100 - made it look even more retro.

 

Took mine off my beloved Thruxton.......What was I thinking ever putting them on such a lovely red curvy tank.
