    Fuel tank scuff pads??

    Who make a decent set that don't look tacky? I don't want chrome and the few I have seen just look bad when they get some age on them or they are cut in such a way that they don't blend in with the lines of the bike.

    I have had these on my bike for over a year and they have held up well.I went with the snakeskin ones on my Black F6B.

    Thanks for the link, never seen this style before. Really like the fact that they offer 3 thickness styles, looking into them.

    I have run the techspec snakeskin on several bikes, holds up really good, doesnt fade or come loose.

    I've had the Techspec pads on my bike for a few months. I read somewhere that they can be removed and reapplied. That is one of the reasons I chose them. I didn't want to take a chance on ruining the paint if I ever decide to take them off.

    Hi Wing'n it,

    I can also vouch for the snake skin. Had it on for about a year and it holds up really well, still looks like new.

    If your want to keep it looking natural used 3m clear paint protectant, you can hardly see it, and it works.

    Here's a simple and inexpensive option from JP Cycles: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/720-976

    I have used these on my last three Goldwings and like them because they actually are functional. They are thick enough that you can grip them with your knees. I have never had one come off, and I like that they are not so big they overpower the tank.

    Just be sure you have them exactly where you want them, because once they are down, they're staying down!

    Read lots of bad reviews on this stuff on several sites. Something about the quality of the material changing?
