Yep they are the same as mine. I think you have fitted them a little low, they seem to run over the line of the fuel tank. Mine are fitted a little higher.

They came today. I took a few pics, I'll try and post both sides.

I had to put them down near the bottom, because my knees gripped them perfect down there. Higher up and your knees can't grip them.

Yeah, I had to mount them lower than I thought looked good. I taped them on before pulling off the backing, and they were too high for a good grip. Where they are now my knees get a really good grip. My inseam is 32" so for other members considering them, unless you have a 34" or more inseam you'll have to mount them lower if you want a good grip, or you want to prevent tank scratches from your thighs.

Bumping this thread that I've looked at so many times. I picked these up on ebay this week. Thoughts? I'm still on the fence. Going riding tomorrow morning so I'll know more then Wink

I'll be interested to hear what you think. They look OK.

I liked the feel a lot, gave a good grip in the twisties.

Here's the ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/232346724027

I just found these on eBay today - glad to see someone on here already bought them. I had messaged the seller asking for pics of them on a CB1100. Thanks for being the guinea pig!

Agree with Cormanus - they look ok. I wish the shape followed the outline of the knee indents more closely. At least you have good knee grip now! That's one thing I miss from my last bike.

RE: Tank knee pads - ss2wheels_imp - 06-28-2017

they fit the tank well, I think they look great!

RE: Tank knee pads - Cormanus - 06-28-2017

They do, although I think it's a pity they have CB1100 written on them.

I am happy with mine. No logo. Got them on ebay. [Image: fc376c60a6061b2a53ce41aa0148a02f.jpg]
