Default Which colour tank pad for my Black Beauty?

Want to get a tank pad for my '07 Daytona which is all black. It will have clear stompgrips on it soon too so bare that in mind. Was looking at the Oxford Spider or Spine.

Clear, Union Jack or other?

The look of my bike is in your hands.

I didn't put black cos I thought it'd look odd with the clear stompgrips. I thought if I get a solid colour clear would match. Who make them thar such type soft gel ones?

P.S. you didn't vote

I voted now. Keiti pads are pretty good quality.

Not too keen on flashy designs on plain colour bikes, but that said I am getting a OEM tank pad for my SV because it ain't too leery.

The only one Triumph do is Carbon Fibre and I don't do that. I don't see the point and I think they're ugly.

bit like crash helmets, get one that does the job, then cosmetically anything you like, simple really.

Athough the T'bird has Retro rubber one & the red S3 THE union jack on it.


Cheers Mark.

I'm not very good at decisions like this! You don't want to take me out to dinner Mark, I'd be there all day deciding what to have.

whilst you're correct I don't want to take you out for dinner, it has nothing to do with your indecisiveness

Oh and one of the companies does a black & white union jack one which is quite nice, that might go better ?


Cheers Mark.
