I love the look of carbon fiber.

That looks good on a red tank. Tempting.
Cheers

Good plan if you have a belly like mine and short arms and legs

Help me out on this one gents. Besides the aesthetic appeal to this accessory, does it have a function? Is it thought to provide some protection to the tank? If so, why is it so small? IOW's, why would Honda design and sell a "protective" accessory that only covers a small portion / area on the top of the tank?
Sorry for such a basic question, but everytime I see this particular accessory, I wonder if it is aesthetics only --or-- it is believed to have protective qualities.
What am I missing here guys?

Most of the wear on a tank is where your belly/ jacket/ possible belt buckle hits the tank, right where those 2 lower pads are. while not 100% protective those pads will do a good job of protecting the tank while adding an aesthetic flare.
I use a 5" or so square of clear static cling material in that area. Not very aesthetic but protective. You'd be surprised the marks on that clear sheeting that would have been on my tank.

I thought the wear there was just because I get so excited when riding and inadvertently rub against it. (Low brow I know, my mother would be horrified)
