Hi to to you all. I am looking to purchase some Petrol Tank Knee pads for my Bike, its JPS colouring so if anyone can recommend a potential manufacturer/supplier would be great. I have had a Custom seat made with additional padding at the from and Alcantara both of which has drastically reduced me sliding forwards. But a pair of Knee grips would add a great final touch especially when cornering etc. Thanks and stay safe. Simmo
 
Interesting, my legs don’t go anywhere near the tank. I’m 6 ft. The position of the pegs, the deep scallops of the tank and general riding position see my legs sitting well out from the tank. I would have to contort them inwards to grip the tank which would doubtless feel unnatural. DOH! Just realised that you are probably not riding a Cafe Racer, which definitely forces your legs to a different position. :oops:

I’ve had a look at this in the past until I realised that it was’nt an issue for me. There are lots of generic ones about like these from Oxford that may be able to be trimmed to fit (unlikely though) - they are all over fleabay. R&G do tank traction sheets, from which you can form your own. The other option is to use Clearguard; it will protect your tank, is almost invisible but will not provide grip. A vintage look pair would look pretty cool methinks. Please share if you find any. Good luck Simmo.

Hi - This guy makes tank pads and such which are are raised and quite grippy. He has made a few bits for me and a very good guy to deal with.

YOUR BIKE IS YOUR PRIDE AND JOY ..and I know that every penny you earn would be spent on it were it not for the fact that you have to buy food to eat, and you've to put away enough money to pay the rent. Why then would you wish to cover it in the generic-type decals and graphics that can be...

Hi Stephan. Thanks for your reply and I have a sport 961 not a Cafe Racer so it does make a difference. Thanks for your advice ad I will look at these two sites you have mentioned. I have also mailed Norton to see if they can advise and also posted to other groups. Take care and stay safe. Simmo

Hi thanks for your message. I am actually looking for simple self adhesive Tank pads not these, but it would help rather than just jeans. Simmo
