furry Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'm not a fan of the tank pad on the older Sports. They just look out of place! So I was playing around looking at some pics and saw a V11 with a cool pad and started reading up. After learning how to pull the pad (from here) I laid some glass and am in the process of working it down to fit. I'm also going to tighten up the edges for a little better fit on the tank. Work in progress, stay tuned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furry Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 So the end result will be a hard tank pad painted to look like this (my photoshop work): (Note: the flag is on backwards lol, it will be painted correctly sitting on the bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Good on ya furry - I applaud the 'Don't like it - change it!' can-do attitude. Here's another tricolor balls-out version - My link - Enzo might experiment with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furry Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Done with the shaping. Looks better than original and not even painted yet! I'll sling some paint on it in a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work in progress, stay tuned: Good work. If I had a short-frame V11 I'd want to redo the pad too, only I would make it flush mount w/ the tank metal, & mold in some hard points to bolt on camera/GPS/tank bag/whathaveyou. But that's just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
