Sup fellow riders. Looking to get a new tank pad/protector since my bike came with an ugly green one. Was just wonder what tank pads you guys are sporting out there.

Here's a few i've been lookin' to get maybe.

 

i got a carbon fiber one that says suzuki on mah gsxr. ill take pics next time i see my bike.

 

talking about the factory suzuki one? I was thinkin of getting that too...just looks a little too short. what year gixxer u got?

 

N00b question alert:
What exactly does the tank pad do. I can make some guesses but I'm not positive.

I think its just prevents scratches from your belt or zipper or something. I need one to hide a nasty scratch but i cant find a decent lookin one.

Ya but my bike is White and red. a CF tankpad IMO would look just out of place.

 

what color is your tank? Check out some keiti tank pads. They make some kick *** ones for each make. The ones i listed are pretty much made by keiti. I figured a carbon fiber one would look good on any tank except a black one, which is why i wish my bike was mostley yellow.

 

Clear ones are dope. And the ones that are cut in patterns resembling famous tire brands.

 

you mean the threaded tank pads? Hate those!

 

heres my tank protector... hehehe

The spot it would be on is white, Ive looked for them but couldnt find a nice one. Ill look into those keiti pads right now.

I found some nice ones but do you have any more sites i could look at? All the ones i get are in another language.

hmmm not really. The best I did was google up tank pads or suzuki tank pads.

 

naw min isnt an oem one. i think cf looks best on black, but mine is a bmw blue/silver

 

tank pads are for grrls... even wearing large belt buckles ive never had a problem scratching my tank... ive seen more harm thengood from people who use them

 

more harm that good? How's that.....its just a cool lookin' sticky pad.

 

i have the carbon fiber progrip and 3m clear masking on the take wear your legs rub it.

 

well, here's mine.

 

damn i like that
