LowRyter Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I keep mine covered with the tank bag mount. But if you want to get rid of the that carbon fiber pad, give me a call. Looks pretty cool.. BTW- what would happen if you removed the pad? Couldn't you cover the sport with the decal from the later bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 There's an awkward odd-shaped depression in the top of the tank under the chin pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyH Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I've often wondered if replacing the vinyl chin pad cover with metal, say brushed alloy or stainless, would give it a lift since entire tank replacement could be expensive, and the chin pad really doesn't do it for me either. Probably a flat panel, set slightly recessed below the edge of the depression? In my pipe dream, i start with a used part as the basis, mainly for the standard fixings. It's just getting round to it, esp. with a house move coming up... :-( Too many priorities... have to fit the timing gears, overhaul the fuel system, replace the tyres, and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Not a bad idea . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MixxedupMedia Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hmm... something flush might help the lines of the tank. One would have to shape it in two planes to look good. I have considered fabricating a holder for a GPS or smartphone. Could be useful albeit kinda geeky. Or maybe a custom a leather pouch for small stuff. Too Harley-like? Still thinking this one through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
