Tech Spec tank grips pads! Help with sliding!

[MrPepsi]

This is a really great product, hopefully they'll be back to register here. They protect your paint and help a little with the sliding forward on the seat. You can see mine below, I use the side pads with a targa tank bra.

Interestingly enough I applied the center pad and the two side pads.  I left off the additional pad that cover the battery box as well as the one underneath it and the corresponding area on the left side.  Went for a ride and it gives me enough grip and looks good as well.  Great product!

One quick word to people who are looking in to these tank pads.  If you are looking for increased grip, make sure you buy the "snake skin" pads and not the high fusion ones.  I got the high fusion because it looks better IMHO, but they offer little in the way of increased grip.

This is my next purchase.  Tough gettting a good deal on them.

There's something odd about the lower pad on your setup.....

Here's how it looks on my bike:

backwards

I specifically left the forward pads off because they do not line up like the 2010 kit.  The 2008-2009 kit looks just like the above photos.  You can not put it on in any different manner that I know of.  I tried all possibilities and the only way it worked is just like what you see above.  I am calling Tech Spec this AM to request the lower forward pad on the right side from a 2010 kit.  I wondered what the difference was because on their website they do not show the right side at all.

What seat is that?

[Pokey]

Everything looks great except for that ugly exhaust. I'm looking at getting the Tech Spec pads in the very near future, sounds like they both work and look good.

Who are you asking, Mike? If me, that's a Baldwin custom leather saddle with an Alaskan Sheepskin cover on it. If you weren't asking me, then I don't know.

+1 on Tech Spec pads, I have snakeskin on the tank and high fusion on the saddlebags.

We have different years, and differently shaped battery covers. I'm guessing techspec changed the shape of that pad. If you look at my pic close up, it matches the shape of the battery cover. Granted it looks odd though.

+1 What MrPepsi said.  I am ordering a 2010 lower pad even though it will cover the battery cover lines.  I do not anticipate removing the battery cover often and when I do the Tech Spec can be re-applied.  I think it looks 10X better on the 2010 later models.

I think it's a sargent...

I'm sorry yes the seat is a Sargent standard height, no heat.
Great seat, not awesome, but great.

Yor pads looked backwards .... until I looked at Mine
never noticed how they looked before   you got 'em right 


DUHHHH for me

This is next up on my list and I have looked at the web site but am uncertain which version of the three that are offered to get. I haven't asked them if thry provide samples or not but if anyone here can offer comparions from experience maybe it would help me decide.

I have the Tech Spec snakeskin tank pads but was reluctant to purchase them because of the fit on the right side battery box cover. I too think that the way it comes looks backwards. I fixed this by trimming both right side pieces about one inch shorter on the leading edge so that they ended up looking like the 2010 model pictured earlier in this post. I used a straightedge and a box cutter and then sanded the edge to resemble the rest.
